We've seen sleeper suites in many international airlines but now Delta becomes the first U.S. carrier to offer this option.
Delta will introduce the new seats in early 2008, when the airline adds two new Boeing 777 Long Range aircraft to their fleet. The sleeper suite has a reclining seat that turns into a 6-foot 3-inch bed, a privacy screen with a fold-out video monitor, tray table, and storage. The suites will be available in BusinessElite Class for international travellers. The airline also plans to offer a lie-flat option on its 767 aircraft.

Just one more way to join the "Mile High Club" with privacy, luxury and style......

From the looks of the seat, you would have to lie down to achieve any level of comfort. It looks very hard and narrow and not at all comfortable.

Design is very cool, but I don't know if it is very comfortable.

How boring. Your tiny little luxury prison cell...

Hi there,

We have an exhibition specialising in Luxury brands and allowing them to all meet under one roof to talk and network with collaborative commercial partnerships in mind. We would like to get in touch with the Founder and CEO of Luxist.com but I can't find their details anywhere, can you help?

I look forward to hearing from you.

All the best,

Sarah
