Delta Air Lines has introduced a new fare option, 'Comfort Basic,' for certain domestic flights, creating a lower-priced entry into its Comfort+ cabin. This new ticket type provides travelers with the main benefits of the Comfort+ cabin, such as additional legroom, dedicated overhead bin space, and complimentary alcoholic beverages, but with significant restrictions similar to a standard Basic Economy ticket. The trade-offs for the lower price include seats being automatically assigned after check-in, ineligibility for first-class upgrades, and no same-day flight changes permitted. Canceling a trip with a Comfort Basic ticket will also incur a fee. The introduction of this fare, Delta's 12th seating option, has generated mixed reactions, with some customers appreciating the cheaper path to more legroom while others express concern over the increasing complexity of the airline's fare structure.
