9 hour Delta with my wife on a 767 (2-3-2 seat config).. should we do comfort plus in the row of 3, or main cabin in a row of 2 where it’d be just us?

And I don’t have a ton of points so I can’t justify premium or delta one ☹️

For a 9 hour flight , definitely a row of 2

like

Probably the two seats together but it’s a tough one…but if it’s just the two of you you can make those two seats as cozy as possible

Exactly my thoughts! Tough to pass up comfort plus but it might end up being more comfortable if it’s just us two.

Row of 2, my husband and I just did this as well - we were able to put the arm rest up between us and spread out a bit more comfortably and not worry about anyone else

Thanks for your feedback! Good to hear you had a good experience with it 👍🏻

Take a gamble and try the outside seats of the 3 seat row and hope no one takes the center seat

like

This never works for me. I rarely ever see an available comfort seat on a long flight, and on the rare occasions one is open someone always finds a way to take it the second boarding is completed 👎🏻

Controlling the row is way better on a 9 hour flight. If you or your partner have a weak bladder, you have to take middle aisle but if the window also has a weak bladder you’ll be up and down the entire flight.

like

Very good points.. I could go the whole flight with 1 trip to the rr but my wife will be up every 1.5 hours!!

I would take the row of two for sure. No fun sitting next to a rando for 9 hours. The two aisles in row of 3 strategy could work but is risky. You def don’t want to risk being split up.

like

Yeah it’s in July and pretty full. I’m not sure if there’s a way to tell what’s booked vs. reserved for upgrades but comfort plus seats are scarce.

Hence no 2-seat aisle options in comfort plus which would be ideal

Main cabin in a row of 2 you guys can make it as enjoyable as you want

like

Main cab Row of 2! I always choose this option on long hauls. Just find it so much more comfortable. Especially on 777s where config is 3-4-3 but there are a couple rows of 2 toward rear of aircraft.

Row of 2

like

How tall are you? Both taking an aisle in comfort+ is prob going to be more comfortable

I’d take an aisle on the 2 and 3 so you’re next to each other but both with aisle seat. Just at the mercy of your seat mate and how often they have to get up. Keep checking seat map too, people change plans and 2 in comfort+ may open up

Privacy for sure
