Do you get pajamas in Delta One?

No, Delta doesn’t offer pajamas in Delta One cabins.

Does Delta 757 have Delta One?

Delta One, which has lie-flat seats, is available on Delta’s Boeing 757-200 aircraft. The 757-300 model has recliner seats in domestic first class.

Does the Delta 757 have lie flat seats?

On the 757-200 model, yes, you will find Delta One with lie-flat seats. On Delta’s Boeing 757-300 model, no, there aren’t lie-flat seats.

What does Delta One get you?

Flying in Delta One provides a lie-flat seat that turns into a bed. You’ll also get extra amenities on board, a meal, priority check-in, lounge access before the flight, and more.

Is Delta One the same as first class?

No, Delta One and first class aren’t the same. Delta’s “first class” is a domestic first class, meaning you’ll find recliner seats with more space than a normal airplane seat, and you may have a meal (depending on the flight distance). However, international first class, offered by airlines like Emirates or Air France, is incomparably better. Delta One is similar to international business class with lie-flat seats, lounge access, elevated dining, and more.

It’s not a widebody plane, and not every seat has aisle access, but the seat lies flat, and it’s an average business class experience. That’s a summary of a recent flight my wife and I took on Delta’s Boeing 757-200 aircraft, which features Delta One, though in a dated version.

While Delta One on the 757 doesn’t offer frills available in some other Delta One cabins, we had a great lounge experience, an excellent check-in experience, and a friendly flight attendant while flying in a ho-hum lie-flat seat.

Let me walk you through our cross-country flight.

Booking Delta One Business Class

There are 3 airlines that operate nonstop flights between Los Angeles (LAX) and Boston (BOS): Delta, JetBlue, and United. We only considered the Delta flight because we had flight credits from past canceled trips and wanted to use them. We needed to get to Boston for an onward flight (on a separate ticket) in JetBlue Mint to Madrid.

When booking directly with Delta, this flight was available for $949 per passenger. Alternatively, paying $1,349 provided a refundable fare.

The flight was also available for 90,000 Delta SkyMiles. Thanks to the TakeOff 15 benefit, those with an eligible Delta credit card from American Express could book the flight for 76,500 miles instead.

Given our flight credits of nearly $500 each, which cannot be used on award redemptions with SkyMiles, we paid the remaining $449 with The Platinum Card^® from American Express. This card earns 5x points on airfare purchased directly with an airline or via AmexTravel.com — up to $500,000 of these purchases annually, then 1x.

Since this was a paid fare, we earned Delta SkyMiles from the trip. My wife and I each earned 869 Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQDs) toward Delta elite status and 4,345 SkyMiles that we can use for future trips.

Since we value Delta miles at 1.2 cents apiece, those 4,345 miles are worth $52.14.

Hot Tip:

When purchasing a flight, use a travel credit card with bonus rewards on airfare purchases. When flying Delta specifically, consider our guide to the best credit cards for Delta flyers.

At Los Angeles International Airport

Checking In

Delta uses Terminal 3 at LAX. While the main check-in area for Delta flights is on the upper level (departures), Delta One passengers can use the dedicated Delta One check-in facility on the lower (arrivals) level. Employees at the door checked our reservation to verify that we were flying on Delta One so we could use this facility.

Delta One Lounge LAX dedicated entrance — Approaching the Delta One dedicated check-in area.

The check-in agent was friendly and helpful. She quickly found our reservation and took our checked luggage. After printing our boarding passes, she advised that our gate was a 5-minute walk from the lounge and wished us a pleasant flight.

This area has a lounge-like waiting area, check-in desks, and a security checkpoint solely available to Delta One check-in facility users.

Delta One Lounge LAX private security checkpoint — The TSA security checkpoint exclusively available through this check-in area.

We went to the elevators leading straight to the Delta One Lounge.

Delta One Lounge

Passengers on Delta One flights, whether international or domestic, and Delta 360° elites have access to the exclusive Delta One Lounge at LAX. This space is much more luxurious than the average Sky Club lounge.

Upon entering the lounge, a concierge greeted us with a folding card with a map of the terminal on the back. Opening it revealed a list of lounge amenities, such as massage chairs, Hyperice therapy, showers, food, and drinks.

Digital kiosks around the lounge provided a way to reserve amenities or get in line if they were in use. For example, these kiosks could be used to get flight assistance or reserve showers and massage chairs.

The lounge’s main hallway led straight to the bar, which was open, staffed, and fully operational, despite the early hour.

Past the bar, there was a sit-down dining room with menus and servers — a contrast to the typical buffet found at most airport lounges.

Delta One Lounge LAX rear dining room — The lounge’s sit-down dining area.

The restaurant’s service was fantastic, modeling both friendliness and efficiency. The menu offered avocado toast, huevos rancheros, toast, sausage, fresh juices, and more.

Delta One Lounge LAX breakfast menu — The breakfast menu during our visit.

I ordered the Beyond sausage, a smoothie, a latte, and the pitaya fruit bowl. While it was more than I usually eat for breakfast, I had trouble choosing, so I ordered (and ate) everything that sounded interesting. The food quality was incredible.

Delta One Lounge LAX breakfast items — Beyond sausages, latte, and a pitaya bowl — perfect.

While my wife was using the massage chair, I poked around the lounge and realized the dessert table had these coconut loaves, which also sounded great, so we each ate one. If you see them during a visit, grab all of them you can fit in your hands. They’re amazing.

The lounge also had multiple restrooms, including accessible bathrooms for those who need them.

Delta One Lounge LAX bathroom hallway — Hallway to the bathrooms.

The marble bathrooms were spacious and bright, including a backlit, circular mirror on the wall, a toilet, and basic amenities.

Delta One Lounge LAX bathroom interior — Inside one of the bathrooms.

The lounge also had an outdoor terrace open to the sky. Since it was early morning and windy outside, heat lamps were on to keep guests warm. Wicker chairs were along the glass wall overlooking the gates, and sofas were in the middle of the terrace.

The terrace overlooked several gates of Terminal 3 below — all used by Delta.

Bottom Line:

The experience is fantastic no matter the time of day, but see what it’s like to spend a morning at the Delta One Lounge at LAX more in detail.

Boarding

Since the employee at check-in had told us it would take 5 minutes to walk to our gate (gate 20) from the lounge, we left the lounge when boarding started.

Delta Air Lines Boeing 757 200 at LAX — Our plane at the gate.

Our assumption that preboarding and gate announcements would take at least 5 minutes was incredibly wrong. Somehow, group 6 boarding was ending, and we boarded with group 7 because there was no separate lane for Delta One or priority access to skip the line.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS boarding line — Didn’t expect the flight to finish 6 boarding groups in 5 minutes!

I passed quickly. My wife, however, encountered an extremely rude gate agent who yelled at her to put her fanny pack inside her backpack since she also had a rolling carry-on bag. The agent behaved so unnecessarily aggressively that multiple passengers approached my wife to express their disbelief at what happened.

After we scanned our boarding passes, the passengers inside the plane were far less efficient than the gate agent scanning their boarding passes, as a line occupied almost the whole jet bridge.

Once we reached the plane’s front door, a friendly flight attendant welcomed us. Sitting in row 3, we quickly found our seats and stowed our stuff in the overhead bins before getting comfortable.

On Board Delta’s 757-200

Delta One Cabin and Seat

The Boeing 757-200 plane is a single-aisle aircraft, and Delta doesn’t offer lie-flat seats on other planes with a single aisle. The cabin had 16 Delta One seats, set across 4 rows in a 2-2 layout. Seats were angled away from the aisle.

Due to the layout, passengers at the window didn’t have direct aisle access. If a passenger on the aisle was lying down, for example, climbing over them to go to the restroom would be necessary.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS front aisle view — The Delta One cabin at the front of the plane.

The seats were in pairs on either side of the aisle, set at a slight angle toward the windows. There was a small, non-adjustable divider between the seats. Each seat could lie completely flat, with passengers’ feet sliding into the footwell in a space under the passenger in front of them.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS A B seats — Spacing between rows of seats.

The back of each seat held the entertainment screen for passengers in the next row, though the shell meant the screen wasn’t directly attached to the seat. Thus, passengers wouldn’t shake their seats when messing with the buttons on the screen.

The cabin had ample overhead bins on either side of the aisle, though there were no doors or privacy dividers between the aisle and passengers’ seats.

On arrival, we found several items on our seats: a pack of slippers, an amenity kit, and a bedding pack that held a blanket and a pillow.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS seat 3D — My seat (3D) on arrival.

The seats had an antiquated design and material. They were made of blue leather with a red and white stripe, including the Delta One logo on the headrest.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS seat 3D window — The seat’s design.

The seat had an armrest on each side, and the armrest next to the window was adjustable.

Behind our shoulders (on the side away from the aisle), there was a cupholder with a bottle of water, and we found our headphones here. This area also had the headphone jack, a USB-A port, and a universal outlet.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS outlets — The plugs behind the seat.

A reading lamp was near the outlets, controlled by a small switch that was hard to access when the seat was upright.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS reading light — Not much space for your fingers to reach this button.

Under the entertainment screen, there was a small shelf. It was too small for my 14-inch laptop, for example.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS laptop under screen — No laptop storage here.

The footwell was underneath, and it was very small.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS foot well — That’s not a lot of space.

The left side of the seat had a small area with safety information and a sick bag.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS info pocket — Safety first!

This space also couldn’t hold my laptop, meaning there was no storage for a laptop at the seat.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS laptop sticking out — You’re too big for this space.

The console between seats had the controls for the seat’s recline and footrest. These buttons worked as expected.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS seat controls — Seat control buttons.

In the bed position, the seats provided 76 inches of space. They weren’t the most comfortable seats in the world but were decent.

The tray tables, located underneath the armrest and released by pulling on the upper portion, were also in the central console.

The tray table opened in a folded position with a wood-and-silver look. There was a divot for a cup on the top side.

We had individual air nozzles, reading lights, and flight attendant call buttons overhead.

The bedding was made from recycled plastic bottles. The blanket was lightweight but warm and comfortable.

Choosing the Best Seat

Your preferred seat will depend on what you’re looking for during the flight.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS cabin front view blurred — The full cabin during our flight.

Couples traveling together have the easiest choice, as they can opt for the 2 seats together on either side of the aisle. Those traveling alone can choose the window if they want privacy or plan to sleep during most of the flight. Otherwise, those who think they’ll move around during the flight can choose aisle seats, understanding they may need to get up to let the passenger at the window access the aisle.

Food and Beverages

We found menus at our seats on arrival, sitting on the console between the seats.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS menus at seats — Menus at our seats.

The menu for our flight included 3 starter options and 3 main course options. The starter options included smoked salmon, yogurt, or a muffin, and the main course options were pancakes, scrambled eggs, or yogurt.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS menu options — Our flight’s menu.

There was also a large drinks menu, including white and red wines, sodas, beer, liquor, tea, coffee, and more.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS drink menu — Drink menu on the flight.

Before takeoff, we received a welcome drink with a choice of Champagne, orange juice, or mimosa.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS welcome drink — Orange juice before the flight.

Everyone received warm nuts and a drink option shortly after takeoff.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS nuts drink — I always enjoy these.

We requested (in advance) and received vegan meals for our flight. Our tray included a few pieces of fruit, a muffin, orange juice, and a warm dish with potatoes, grilled tofu, and steamed greens.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS breakfast meal — Main meal during the flight.

The meal was slightly on the “needs more flavor” side but was enjoyable.

Amenities

Inflight Entertainment

Each seat had a 13.3-inch monitor with multiple options for languages.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS entertainment screen — Screen at my seat.

Each passenger also had a remote control near the tray table. It popped out with the click of a button.

The back of the remote had a QWERTY keyboard and buttons for video game controls.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS entertainment remote — Back of the remote.

The entertainment system had numerous options for movies and TV shows.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS entertainment movies — Movie options during the flight.

There were also multiple Spotify playlists and channels for watching live TV.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS entertainment TV — TV channel options.

Along with games, there was a kids section with movies, audio, games, and a flight tracker.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS entertainment kids movies — Kids section of the entertainment system.

Each passenger in Delta One received a set of noise-canceling headphones, which were placed on the shelf near the outlets and cupholders at boarding.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS headset — Headset for Delta One passengers.

Amenity Kits

Amenity kits from Missoni were available at our seats when we boarded.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS amenity kit — The amenity kit we received.

Delta recently expanded its Missoni partnership, and the kit included a pen, lotion, toothbrush, toothpaste, earplugs, an eye mask, and a pair of socks. Delta, I give you a round of applause for these socks, as they’re good quality and ankle-height. My wife has used them multiple times since the flight.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS amenity kit contents — Contents of the amenity kit.

Lavatories

Delta One passengers on our flight could use a single lavatory at the front of the plane near the cockpit and the galley.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS lavatory — Inside the lavatory.

The lavatory was plain and dated, but I liked the touchless feature for flushing the toilet.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS lavatory touchless flush — Not touching things in a public bathroom is a win.

There was a lavatory at the rear of the cabin, but it was out of service.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS lavatory broken — Broken, unfortunately.

Wi-Fi

Our flight had complimentary Wi-Fi for all Delta SkyMiles members, and a blue light overhead indicated when the Wi-Fi became available after takeoff. The internet was reliable, and speeds were sufficient to accomplish basic tasks.

Service

Service can be divided into 2 categories: a great flight attendant and lackluster “everything else.”

First, there was the issue with the aggressively rude woman in the boarding area who yelled at my wife about her fanny pack. It was completely unnecessary. Then, upon arrival at my seat, I found many crumbs in the pocket with the safety information card. This means cleaning between flights wasn’t very attentive.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS crumbs — Crumbs when I arrived at my seat.

However, everything involving our flight attendant was great. He was friendly and efficient, consistently smiling while providing quick mealtime service. The cabin had a single flight attendant, but he handled his duties well, taking drink orders, clearing dishes, and responding to requests.

Delta One B757 200 LAX BOS view up aisle light — Looking up the aisle in the cabin.

Arrival at Boston Logan

As we approached Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), we first passed the airport and then turned around to make our landing. During the process, flight attendants and pilots made the necessary announcements about our plans, safety, and arrival terminal. I always appreciate when the crew doesn’t ramble; they did a great job.

Boston Logan BOS airport runways overhead view — Passing over the BOS airport.

After landing, we taxied quickly to Terminal A. Everyone in our cabin was facing forward, toward the plane’s front door, expecting we would deplane that way. No one announced that we would exit through the middle door, and 25% of the passengers in economy had already left the plane before passengers in our cabin realized what was happening, turned around, and started heading for the exit.

Most airlines normally allow passengers in premium cabins to deplane first, but that didn’t happen on our flight.

Final Thoughts

Overall, I enjoy the Delta One product, especially its newer version, Delta One Suites. However, Flying Delta One on the Boeing 757-200 isn’t as great as other Delta One cabins due to the layout, reduced space for each passenger, and small footwell.

However, we got a lie-flat seat on a cross-country flight, access to an incredible lounge, and were able to use a flight voucher to cover roughly half the cost of our flight. We also had a great flight attendant, a meal, and some rest.

I wouldn’t aim to fly this Delta One product on purpose and wouldn’t go out of my way (logistically or financially) to avoid it, but it’s definitely not my first choice.
