Sitting in 1B has less legroom due to the bulkhead. There is a gap under the bulkhead for a few extra inches if you dont mind dodging the flight attendant's feet poking under from the opposite direction.My complaint is the overall comfort of the seat. It is the most uncomfortable first class seat that I have sat in. The seat back is very upright. There is not much padding. It seems to feel like an oversized economy seat from a small regional jet.

I want to defend 21F, last reviewer said screen was two rows away - it's on the back of seat 19, so it's really just one row ahead of normal. I had a remote control for it and a fold-out armrest tray table. The unlimited legroom makes up for those niggles.

This is for MSP/SEA. I was in the aisle seat. The seat was comfortable with plenty of legroom, I love the new IFE systems with the multiple plugins, plus the power outlets for each seat. Last time I rode in a 737-900ER I don't remember this pleasant of an experience. Not sure what they've changed since then, but, keep it up Delta!!

The review of this seat states that it is a "standard economy seat" in an exit row. This suggests that the leg room for this seat is the same as for other economy seats. That is NOT the case. The legroom is at least 2" less than for a standard economy seat. It is true that there is no recline.

This was Delta 845 (N859DN) from Atlanta to West Palm Beach. Row 25, either A or F, has 2 windows. The legroom is good for economy seats, and this seat is located on the back of the wing with a perfect view of the flaps and, if applicable, the split scimitars.

The leg room in 1D (and 1A for that matter) is adisgrace to the airline.

Seats in row 2 are the best seats on the plane in my opinion.. Row 1 you have to put your typical under the seat bag into the overhead. You also don't have to deal with the overhead compartments filling up because people are too cheap to pay for checked bags.. Nice large seat, real meals and good service from the flight crew.

There is no seat in front of you so yes, there is a LOT of legroom. But, the entertainment console is in the back of the seat two rows up so basically useless. More importantly, the seat has a small arm rest on the right side which is limited comfort. The tray table is a fold out in the left hand armrest that requires the person next to you to lift their arm to access. The curve of the plane greatly intrudes into your right shoulder space so this seat is actually very uncomfortable. If there is a large person next to you (like I had on this flight), they basically will be sharing your seat with you. It is an awful seat and I'll never select it again.

28F has two windows, one just slightly back from your shoulder, and another forward, even with the back of the seat in front. I'm 5'10" and had a good 3" of knee space. On the flight back, DEN-ATL, I had Seat 32A, same windows, same placement. (And my name is NOT "Abdallah E," ha!)

Delta charged $39.99 for this seat on 1138 mile flight. Called a “preferred” seat and considered an exit row but, buyer beware, this is a standard economy seat and has no more legroom than any other main cabin seat. Not worth extra money. Very misleading presentation from Delta.
Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2019/04/18 for Seat 12D
4/12/19 DL#1082 SEA to ANC: the Comfort+ rows immediately behind the bulkhead rows have equipment boxes underneath the aisle seats in fornt. This is because the bulkhead row in front has TVs stored in the armrests so i assume the boxes under that seat relate to their entertainment function. Better to select a Comfort+ seat in one of the rows further back and avoid 12D and 11C (bulkhead is one row further up on ABC side of plane). also, though i did not sit in 11D (the bulkhead seat in front of me), it did not look super comfortable.

This seat has NO xtra legroom, except during take off and landing. While flying the closet door is open and takes about 4” off the legroom, making this seat worse than non-Comfort+ seats. Avoid at all costs!

I'm short, only 5'3", so the alleged lack of legroom in the bulkhead seats isn't an issue for me. Being in a window seat, I wasn't bothered by the people visiting the lavatory or the FAs doing tasks in the galley like the passenger in 1B. I have flown this same seat a few times now, and I feel "cozy" there. I'm one of the first off the plane which is another bonus for this seat.

I read the bulkhead seats were not ideal for foot and leg room, but after riding in seat 3A, I will elect to take a bulkhead next time I ride a DL 739, if available. Tray tables are fold out from the seat divider in all rows, not just row 1, which I am not a fan of, as they are typically uncomfortably positioned for eating a meal. While the large TV and entertainment system were pluses, the leg room behind row 1 is on par with JetBlue's Even More Space seats. Nice wide seat, but leg room was sub-par, especially riding behind a passenger fully reclined from takeoff to arrival on a 3h45m JFK-SJU trip. Seat itself had sufficient padding and comfortable otherwise.
Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/11/21 for Seat 21F
21A and 21F are the best seats on the plane (beyond first class, of course). Tray table, video controls and headphone jack in the arm rest between you and the center seat. Somehow this did not appear to widen the armrest, so no negative impact on your seat width. Your own personal power outlet underneath the seat. Add more legroom than you can possibly need, a regular bottom cushion and the seat reclines. Only tiny minus might be that your screen is farther away. Took this on a JFK-PDX (NYC to Portland, OR) flight and they even served a free very tasty dinner of chicken with pasta salad (and offered two other options).

We were upgraded to Comfort, my husband has claustrophobia, prefers aisle seat, but thought seat 11F would be good because on bulkhead; when he got to seat, could not sit there because of the reduced legroom and seat width; fortunately was able to move over to 10B, even though a middle seat, more leg room and ability get up. I, unfortunately, was in 12A and a very. very large, disabled passenger was in 12C and I was unable to get out on a 5.5 hr flight; I couldn't take my husband's abandoned seat as another passenger had moved into that seat. We would have been much, MUCH better off with our original seats 15 C and 15 D - upgrading is NOT always a good thing!!!

A typical middle seat in economy. Delta's 737s feel more cramped than their Airbus 320, for sure. This row has good window alignment, so if you are next to someone who doesn't close their window shades you have a good shot of looking outside even from this middle seat.

Due to the reduction in the aisle width as it transitions from First Class to Comfort Plus, seat 10 C is exposed to passenger traffic.

This is certainly the worst seat in First Class, possibly on the entire plane. It is a bulkhead seat with very little room for your feet. My husband seated next to me with longer legs (but only 6 feet tall) was entirely uncomfortable and cramped. For a 5+ hour trip to Alaska it was lousy. We did not select bulkhead seats when we bought our tickets, but Delta unilaterally changed our seats and never mentioned it to us. I don't like the 737 very much and this flight confirmed again why. Seats are hard, with little padding, extremely limited recline for First Class seats, tray tables in seat arms take inches from your seat. The worst thing was the front row view of the galley and all the noise. When cabin staff bent over to do something in the kitchen, their butts literally encroached into my seat area. Also, those waiting for the lavatory hung out with their butts in my face too. There was no curtain for that area. So lights, food smells, the socializing and activities of the cabin staff and lavatory waiters were completely disturbing throughout the entire flight. It would have been much more pleasant sitting in Economy. Also, for nearly 2 hours of the flight, the cabin staff moved a beverage cart to block off that galley/lavatory area so we could not use the front lavatory or talk to the staff. It seemed as if several staff were taking a "break" up front and didn't want to be bothered with any passengers.

The in-seat power is a plus, but you do have to reach a bit to the seat in front to plug in your device.

This is an extremely nice aircraft to fly on domestically. The seats and legroom are good and the IFE in every seat is a great feature. The aircraft is a little louder than the A321 that Delta also flies but not significantly. I would fly this aircraft over the A321 due to it's nicer interior.

I flew this plane from LAS-MSP. The seat was quite comfortable. I didn't use the recline. There is a wall behind this seat. Some reviewers say it affects the recline. I liked it because no one was bumping the back of my seat during the flight. The live TV did not work and the picture quality of the movie I watched (March of the Penguins) was similar to analog, a little disappointed at that. This seat is served last during the meal and they were out of one of the options. Not a big deal to me but may be to some. Overall there was plenty of room in this seat and the flight was comfortable. The interior of the plane is nice and it was fairly quiet in the first class cabin.

Has good parts and bad parts, during my flight a line for the lavatories filled the aisle from row 33 back. Has more leg room than the window and aisle seat though. Also, it took longer than usual to exit plane as there is no rear exit. The in-flight entertainment just got a software update, and is excellent.

The window is misaligned, but the wing doesn't block your view so if you twist just right you can see what's going on outside. Also, in general the coach seats on this plane recline so far that you have to look down farther than is comfortable (I'm 6' tall) to watch the IFE. The seat was reasonably comfortable for the three hours I was on the plane, and even though I'm a fluffy flier I still didn't need a seatbelt extender. The plane is very warm, and the fans above the seat put out less air the more people in your row open them -- so, not nearly enough.

Seats 21A and 21F have fixed armrests that cannot be raised. You also can't reach the screen on the back of seat 19A (or your bag under it). The wall of the plane pushes into your shoulder space (21A, left shoulder; 21F, right shoulder). I'm a big guy, and I didn't need a seatbelt extender, so that was nice. Finally, overall this plane was very warm, even with the windowshades closed, and the fans on the newer planes share an air source -- the more people on your row who open their vents, the less air you get. IFE was great for my wife (in 21B), with 1/8" headphone ports and USB charging, as well as plenty of options. However, the captain needs to talk less because it pauses the IFE. They talk a LOT.

Obviously tons of legroom here. Tray table and TV controller are in the armrest and I didn't have any issues seeing the screen. It is a little awkward to reach your under-seat bag or items you wish to stow in the seatback pocket, but it's the price you pay for limitless legroom. Just make sure you have what you need during takeoff and landing.

I'm 5'10", 320lbs and didn't have an issue with any part of the seat except the armrest stowed tray table. Letting it extend a few more inches would have been nice (that it's tight on me is my fault, not Boeing's). On the ground, the aircon was struggling on the ground in Albuquerque. Once airborne and above 10,000 ft it seemed fine. Regarding the overhead storage, this particular aircraft's bins didn't seem as tall as some of the pictures I'd seen. My 21" Delsey Helium spinner fit flat wheels first just fine but there's no way it was going in there on it's narrow side. The aisles are narrower than the 757 and even the MDs but once again, I'm a pretty big guy and I didn't have a problem. Pitch is noticeably shorter than the 757's but there was still a decent amount of room. The aisle seat pax will have to get up to let the window seat out regardless if either or both of the row forward is reclined or not.My only complaint with this A/c to date is the size of the under seat storage space. I had trouble getting a Maxpedition Sitka underneath (approx. 10" deep in it's current configuration).

The plane was new, clean, and the in-flight entertainment with the seat-back LCD screens was excellent, best I've had on a domestic flight. Seats themselves are decently padded but narrow and low on legroom. The aisle of the plane is absurdly narrow, and you're not getting past the carts to the restroom if they're serving anything (which on a 180 passenger plane for a 5 hour flight, they usually are). Try to stick to a 757 or 767 if you can get it, but you could do worse than the 739.

Hard, hard plastic seats. In the effort to make the plane lighter, the seats have been sacrificed. At the end of my red eye my butt actually hurt from the hardness of the seat. The seat depth is also shorter, no doubt so more people can be crammed in. Aisle seats on the Delta 737-900ERs have a funky bar that extends down keeping anything but a flat briefcase from fitting properly under the seat in front of you. My backpack, that used to always fit perfectly, does not fit. My feet had to straddle it to try to get any sort of legroom.I'm a Boeing girl, but I cannot stand the interior of these planes. Horrid and cheap.

Amenities such as the two charging ports, seatback monitors, and wifi are great. But, the wifi is really all you need, as you can watch free movies and TV on your own device. The cabin is far nicer than that of United's 737 fleet, though after a 5 hour flight the seat does become uncomfortable. The middle seat has a small box impeding on legroom, just another reason to never sit in a middle seat.

N851DN delivered on 1/19/16, so new, still smelled of new plastic inside. First class window seat was very comfortable. Plenty of legroom and width. Recline was full and unrestricted with adjustable head rests. The entertainment system in the seat back worked perfectly. Plenty of entertainment choices from movies, live TV and games. The screen for row 1 is mounted on the bulkhead, so it would be further away to watch and to access the on screen controls. The only criticism I have of this aircraft in the volume of airflow through the overhead vents. The interior temperature was very warm when we boarded and the overhead vent produced hardly any air movement. The air flow did not improve during the flight. Boeing could have left this feature off this aircraft. So, you are at the mercy of the flight crew to control your temperature comfort though the main HVAC system. After reading bad reviews of the comfort of this aircraft, I almost changed my flight to avoid it. Other than the airflow, there is no reason to avoid this aircraft.

While the additional space over Economy is good, 3D was stuck in a partial recline, and 3C took inordinate effort to move in recline.

While the legroom for 11D is quite spacious (and you can stretch out into the aisle in front of the closet when there is no foot traffic), there are two major penalties. The closet door opens into your personal space, a completely covers the pocket for magazines. When the Flight Attendant opens it, it will most certainly intrude in your personal space. The other problem is that everyone else around you has an eye-level mounted monitor, but this seat has one that tucks under the armrest. You won't be able to watch your movie after final approach rings.

Regional Jets not withstanding, this 737-900ER was by far the most uncomfortable aircraft in Delta's fleet that I've flown on. Seats feel very close together (even in first, I can't imagine what steerage is like). The seats are hard as a rock and have very little recline. Adding insult to injury the front lavatory is beyond claustrophobic. Absolutely hate to fly this plane, and avoid when I can. If Delta does this same treatment to the rest of their fleet then they aren't much different than a RyanAir flight.

Best economy seat on the plane (also 21A). Seat removed in front of you so great leg room. In flight entertainment screen is two seats away, so that may be an issue for some. The photo submitter showing his phone plugged in 2 seats away must have missed the fact that the seat has both USB and standard plug in the base, and there is a remote for in-flight that has a headphone jack.

The sears are some of the most uncomfortable. If you are selecting an exit row for the extra leg room, don't, because they actually have less. The seats are very narrow, and if your neighbor is slightly wider than an average person, expect to get intimate. The extra overhead space is needed, due to the lack of sufficient space under many seats.

These planes are not an improvement - yes the entertainment option is nice but the seats are hard and narrow.

Very similar drawbacks to the new AA planes.

For 10A-10C the entertainment system is mounted on an articulated arm that comes out of the armrest. If seats 5A or 5B are reclined it's impossible to deploy or stow the screen without disturbing the folks in those seats.

The video screens are larger than what you'd expect on most aircraft. The "touch screen" technology is very responsive, so you don't have to press hard and disrupt the passenger in front of you. The video screens are good size and the clariity of the IFE is phenomenal! The USB and chargin ports are easily identified with the caben ambient lighting. Armrests are VERY wide. No having to flip a coin for who gets to use it. New Generation ceiling and overhead bins are spacious, and they don't restrict headroom for those in the aisle. The only disappointment is the size of the First Class lav - you cannot change your mind once in the lav due to lack of room!

I was disappointed on Deltas new 737-900 Aircraft. Seat 1A has no legroom! Very uncomfortable!! The air conditioning was almost non existent!!! Terribly hot the entire 2 hours and 12 minutes. No live TV, but big screens. The tray tables come out of the center arm rest! Bad idea. Not impressed with Boeing and Deltas new airplane!!! The 300's were much better!!!!!!

Recently flew the 737-900 ER for the first time. This is a great airplane as outfitted by Delta. 13D in economy comfort was very comfortable and eliminated my usual desire to upgrade to first class. I have always hated the 757 for its cramped feeling, even in first class. Nobody over 5'8" could stand up in the front bathroom. Now it should be possible to avoid flying it again.I just booked a repeat of this same trip in July and specifically requested the 900 both ways.

Although there is more legroom, it's a stretch to see the TV, because there is not a row of seats in front of it.

Dreadful seat. Advertised new seats with extra comfort is hogwash, perhaps for a tiny person. Hard seat, no knee room, neighbor arm stuck in my side the entire flight, right shoulder banged constantly by wide body flight attendants and passengers and carts. Broad shouldered or tall people beware. Likely the most uncomfortable seat I've ever sat in and for a 2100 nm flight (against the wind) it was torture.

Flying first class on this aircraft is like flying on jetBlue with more elbow room. The seat does not recline more than two inches. If you take a red eye flight on this aircraft (as I did), you are almost certain to be disappointed. I would not voluntarily take this aircraft for another red eye. If you take a daytime flight, it is not a bad seat. You do not get much leg room, but the entertainment system is quite nice. It is also nice to have electricity in the seat. The seat is better than anything you will get flying coach on Delta.

If you are flying coach on this plane, seats 21 A & F are best. Much better than economy comfort. With no seat in front, the legroom and total personal space are better than first class. I normally put my computer bag in the overhead to enjoy more leg room, but that is unnecessary in these seats. It is a little bit of a stretch to reach the seat in front. But that is easier than having to get up to get to your stuff in the overhead. The only drawbacks are that it takes longer to disembark as you are farther back in the plane than economy comfort and the video screen is in the arm rest and must be stowed for landing.

Have travelled this plane many times now. There is no bulkhead behind row 5 separating FC from economy and the seats in Y are very close to row 5. People in row 5 frequently kick or use the back of the seat to pull themselves up.
