“We are always working to make the coast-to-coast travel experience more comfortable and productive for our customers,” said Joanne Smith, Delta’s senior vice president-inflight services. “In addition to product elements such as full flat-bed seats and in-flight Wi-Fi, sometimes it is the smaller, more personal touches that really make the flight experience an exceptional one.”
Adding to these investments, the airline is launching Ideas In Flight, a program through which Delta will test new products and services and gather real-time feedback from customers on board and via Facebook. Customers may participate by accessing the Ideas In Flight website for free while onboard transcontinental flights via in-flight Wi-Fi and through the dedicated tab on the Delta Facebook page.
