Customers who have purchased an international Economy ticket on Delta will be able to choose Economy Comfort seats for an additional fee of $80 to $160 one way on Delta’s website, at kiosks and Delta reservations beginning in May for travel this summer. Complimentary access to Economy Comfort seats will be available to all SkyMiles Diamond and Platinum Medallions, up to eight companions traveling in the same reservation with Diamond and Platinum Medallions, and customers purchasing full-fare Economy class tickets.
