Delta is adding economy comfort seating to all two-class Delta flights beginning June 7, 2012. This means if you are a Delta Elite you’ll have access to up to 4 extra inches of room. It’s basically like a bunch of exit row seats in the front part of the coach cabin.
With long first class upgrade lists, these seats will be a nice conciliatory prize that gives elite members a little extra room to stretch out.

Go ahead – stretch out.
Beginning June 7th, you can enjoy Economy Comfortâ„¢ on all two-class Delta flights.

Delta didn’t waste anytime… Heard this announcement earlier this week, and flew 2 757s with EC today (5/25). Had no idea I was going to have them.. Pleasant suprise since my upgrades didn’t clear..
