First Delta Air Lines got us all excited by increasing its Sydney to Los Angeles schedule to 10 flights per week from December. Now it’s time to experience the four elevated cabin options on international long-haul services aboard the flagship A350 aircraft.
Now winging its way from Sydney to LAX with more nonstop flights than ever before, here’s why Delta Air Lines’ A350-900 international long-haul inflight experience is a game-changer.
Please be seated for take-off as we go through the exclusive inflight features.
Cabin life
So, what is there to do on Delta’s nonstop SYD–LAX flight? We’re so glad you asked.
Delta’s flagship A350-900 aircraft not only gets you to LA, but it’s also doing it in style. Plus, you’ve got options. Lots of options. Did we mention you can also connect to more than 50 destinations across the Americas from LAX?
Live the deluxe life in a Delta One suite – easily one of the most exclusive cabins in the sky with just 32 seats on board. Available on long-haul international flights, Delta One is the biz with spacious 180-degree flat-bed seats, complete with oversized duvet and pillow and handcrafted amenity kits. Feel cocooned with enhanced privacy with full-height doors and dividers in your Delta One suite.
Delta Premium Select is the airline’s premium economy seat and newest cabin offering. Seats feature a fold-out adjustable footrest and leg rest plus a more generous 45cm seat width, 97cm seat pitch and deeper recline to really stretch out those limbs. Cosy up with a memory foam pillow and plush blanket and feel refreshed with a premium amenity kit, including socks and an eye mask.
Want enhanced cabin comfort but can’t stretch to premium economy? Delta Comfort+ upgrades the Main Cabin experience with three extra inches of legroom, 44cm seat width, 86cm seat pitch and a dedicated overhead bin space reserved just above your seat for Delta Comfort+ customers.

Delta’s elevated economy offering punches above its weight with more flexibility and freedom. Delta’s A350 Main Cabin provides complimentary earbuds to plug into hours of entertainment via the seatback Delta Studio platform.
