Delta delivers new standard of airline cleanliness with “Delta Clean”

Shouldn’t it of always been Delta Clean? Sealed tubes at Alt. Filled with the masses, everyone has different levels of personal hygiene - airlines should of been eating the turn time and cost to be doing this all along.

Considering I've pulled snotty kleenex, wads of gum, and fast food wrappers out of Delta seat back pockets, they have only one direction but up. (Well, or down)

It seems Delta has been listening to folks talking about what the "new normal" will be. Glad to see it.

As a cardiologist in NJ, I welcome as much cleaning as possible and saddened it took a pandemic to convince the airlines. After covid-19, we will still have influenza, the common cold, etc to deal with. There is never enough cleaning or disinfecting, believe me.

it's about time and should be a world wide mandate

Airlines make money with planes in the air and not on the ground, until this becomes and FAA rule or law, this will be discontinued when traffic goes back to normal. Otherwise this cleaning is just for advertisement.

Doesn't matter how clean the plane is, as soon as an infected person boards the virus is airborne throughout the cabin. Contaminated surfaces is not the primary means of transmission, person to person transmission is. I would not fly without a N95 respirator.

Better air filtration systems and those restrooms with urine all over the floor - plum nasty and germs all over and people go in there and track it all the way throughout the plane and it appalls me that people go barefoot or sock feet to the restrooms - I have been in too many flights with urine sticky all over the floor.

Of course, all of this work has been contracted out for quite some time. Just prior to retirement, last leg of a 4 day ORD-STL, flight attendant comes up and says, "Captain, you have to see this". 2 seats and the floor in the middle of the aircraft had experienced a passenger projective vomiting. The cleaners had departed and we were preparing to board, apparently thinking that a Hokie was sufficient to clean bodily fluids. All over the back of the seats, chunks in the seat tracks, etc. Held boarding and asked for cleaning supervisor, showed her the problem and her response was, "We only have 5 minutes to clean the aircraft". (an MD-80) I told her that she had as long as I said she had to clean the aircraft. She then repeated her original statement, then I repeated MY statement. 45 minutes later, we boarded the aircraft and headed south. Moral of the story, you get what you pay for, but you knew that.

This should not need to happen due to this virus, they, and other airlines, should be doing this after every plane has had passengers deplane. It is a dad fact that people are nasty and do not care about that others will be sitting there later, they just want to get off the plane as fast as they can. I always give any trash to the flight attendents when they come around with the trash bag. Sadly, others cannot do such.

People, in general are pos pigs

How about ROOM to actually put the TRAY TABLE DOWN? And not be 4 1/2 inches front seat back to my FACE!

The plane may have been cleaned overnight. But unless you take the first flight in the morning it will gradually get worse by the time the plane has gotten to you for an afternoon or night flight. You can take a guess on how many passengers have already sat in that seat the time the jet gets to your airport.....

All air companies should be following disinfecting & cleaning of all aircraft, at landing points. This should be mandatory. Also every passenger should be responsible to pick up their garbage before leaving the plane. Be responsible & stop the spread of diseases. Be responsible..... you should all learn from this epidemic we are encountering.... this includes Priority & 1st class passengers...... when leaving the plane, these areas are the worst. Please clean up after yourselves.

Thanks for the laugh Delta. New standard as opposed to the old one that compared to a taxi in Africa.

They have not cleaned their planes for at since they were new, every time I fly Delta and I get a survey, I comment for them to clean their planes, what a filthy product they offered and after this is will be the sane old Delta..

I agree with you!

To me, this looks like more BS PR. Do they say they are concerned about their passenger's health? NO, it is money simply. Then at the counter sometimes gloves are used and sometimes they are not used.
April 1 is still April Fools Day
Even when the "inspection" of the seatback pockets are lame. Checked out from the "checker" whose hands were God knows where. It could be another coronavirus Mary.

Sorry Delta, but I’m a long time customer and can’t start to name the amount of nasty trash that I have found in the back seat pocket as well as the dinner trays Not to mention the back of the seat that I cover before I rest my head onto “disgusting”

Does the Delta Clean crew consist of only black people? Your video kinda left me wondering. Surely, when you sat down to decide what actors and actresses to use in your video, you weren't trying to make a subliminal statement were you?

taking credit now for what ought to have been standard and usual for months and years ago seems to be corporate grandstanding. Making money whilst oblivious to the effects of cost cutting on passengers is the true corporate standard. Delta's dog and pony show seems underwhelming
