✈️ Delta’s Use of Tiers
Delta uses Tiers 2–7 for its products:
• Main Cabin (2)
• Comfort+ (3)
• Domestic First Class (4)
• Premium Select (5)
• Delta One (6)
• Delta One Suites (7)
💡 Did You Know?
Delta One Suites (7)—an international business class product—are sometimes sold as Domestic First Class (4) on repositioning flights.
🔹 You get a lie-flat suite at Tier 4 pricing, but with fewer perks like limited inflight amenities and no international dining menu.
🏆 What’s Tier 8?
True International First Class (8) is offered by select airlines (e.g., Emirates, JAL, Singapore Airlines) with 4–12 exclusive seats. These ultra-luxury cabins start at $5,000 one way and redefine premium air travel. Delta does not offer a Tier 8 product.
💎 What’s Tier 9?
Reserved for products like Etihad’s The Residence, offering apartment-style suites with private rooms, butlers, and unparalleled service.
