Atlanta Based Delta Pledges To Block Middle Seats Through January

ATLANTA, GA — Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines has pledged to block all middle seats through at least January as a way to keep travelers safe as the holiday season approaches.

“Medical experts, including our own partners at Emory Healthcare, agree – more distance on board makes a difference, '' said Bill Lentsch, Chief Customer Experience Officer at Delta Air Lines in a statement, reported Simple Flying.

Middle seats in Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin via the Fly Delta app or online, will be blocked. Customers traveling in parties of one or two will not be able to select the middle seat either.
