Passengers criticize new Delta cabin design as 'uncomfortable'

Frequent flyers have slammed Delta after the airline introduced a new cabin design, which has been called “uncomfortable.”

On Tuesday, the Atlanta-based airline announced it would be leveling up your entire fleet.

The upgrade will include new seat upholstery and padding and ambient lighting that is said to help customers feel “at home” while traveling.

According to the announcement, the redesign will “enhance the experience and showcase the future of flying with Delta.”

However, while the airline insists guests will be rested in luxury, passengers are not convinced and flocked to social media sites Reddit and X, formerly known as Twitter, to criticize the new look, noting that it looked ” uncomfortable as hell.”

The cabin redesign, which will roll out to all planes by 2025, features black “memory foam cushions,” which are made from a nylon and wool blend.

Frequent travelers flooded social media, calling the new design “awkward.”

Another user added: “Looks depressing.”
