Delta Air Lines is transforming the sleep experience in the air by offering Westin Heavenly In-Flight bedding, designed and manufactured exclusively for Delta, in all of its Business Elite cabins.
The new Westin Heavenly In-Flight bedding product will be available on all Business Elite International flights, and Business Elite flights between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle, and between Atlanta and Honolulu, beginning June.
Business Elite customers will receive a Westin Heavenly sleeping pillow and a comforter with extra-luxurious loft. Passengers on flights over 12 hours long will also receive a lumbar pillow.
“Delta is committed to providing our customers with the best possible sleep experience in the skies,” said Joanne Smith, Delta’s senior vice president for In Flight Service.
“We are delighted to bring the Westin Heavenly experience to thousands of Delta travelers around the world,” said Brian Povinelli, global brand leader for Westin Hotels. “Getting a good night’s sleep is the No. 1 priority for our guests.”
In addition to the new Westin Heavenly In-Flight bedding, Delta is investing in other products and services to revamp the in-flight sleep experience. These include a white noise channel on Delta Radio, and new Business Elite amenity kits featuring Tumi and Malin+Goetz products.
Delta is also enhancing the sleep experience by expanding full flatbed seating. Delta is introducing full flatbed seats in the Business Elite cabin of all transcontinental flights operating between New York and Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle beginning this month. All of Delta’s Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft serving these transcontinental markets will offer the flatbed seats over the next 24 months. By summer, all transpacific flights will have flatbeds installed.
To create a more restful cabin environment, flight attendants are also proactively adjusting for appropriate lighting based on the time of day and streamlining cabin announcements to decrease noise disruptions.
