Delta customers can now book and pay for flights via Apple Pay, the easy and private way to pay that the company says is safer than credit cards, using the latest version of the Fly Delta app. Delta is the first U.S.-based airline to allow its customers to purchase tickets using Apple Pay, making the booking process even faster and easier for iPhone users.

This latest feature to the Fly Delta app is just one of many digital improvements designed to elevate the overall customer experience.

Delta Air Lines reveals special New-York Mets livery
Delta celebrated the New York Mets’ return to the postseason with the dedication of a Mets-branded Boeing 757 at New York-JFK today.
The event followed the airline’s announcement Monday that it will renew its team sponsorship agreement, extending Delta’s designation as the Official Airline and Official Private Jet Carrier of the New York Mets through 2023.
Gail Grimmett, Delta’s Senior Vice President-New York, was joined by New York Mets Chief Operating Officer Jeff Wilpon, Executive Vice President Lou DePaoli, and former player Keith Hernandez to unveil an oversized “Let’s Go Mets” graphic on the aircraft’s fuselage.
“Without a doubt, the Mets are part of the fabric of the New York community,” said Grimmett at the unveiling ceremony. “As the team’s official airline and New York’s largest carrier, Delta is thrilled to unveil this ‘Let’s Go Mets’ aircraft to celebrate our longstanding relationship and what promises to be an exciting playoff series.”
The team’s playoff run begins Oct. 9. As the Official Airline of the Mets, Delta flies the team to and from away games throughout the regular season and the playoffs.

Delta Air Lines reduces amount of seats for F/A comfort
Delta Air Lines Inc. is removing seats from 179 jets to make things less cramped — for flight attendants, not the passengers.
The removal of two or three seats, depending on the aircraft model, reverses some of the carrier’s seat additions of recent years. The action provides more space in the galleys, spokesman Michael Thomas said.
“This is an investment to give our flight attendants the room that they asked for, and in turn so they can provide better customer service,” he said.
The seat reductions are a bit unusual in an industry that has tried to stuff more passengers on board in recent years, in part by introducing sleeker “slimline” seating. Those seats use less padding than traditional models and are shaped differently, letting airlines pack more people in the cabin with little or no change to the spacing between rows.
Three rear seats will be taken out of 69 Airbus Group SE A320 jets currently being flown and from 45 A321s on order, Delta said. The carrier also will nix two apiece in its fleet of 65 McDonnell Douglas MD-90s, which don’t have rear galleys, to provide more storage space, Thomas said.
Delta earlier had boosted seat counts on aircraft including the MD-90 and the A320, with the latter jet also receiving “space-saving galleys,” according to a January 2014 statement.
Southwest Airlines Co., American Airlines Group Inc. and United Continental Holdings Inc. also have added slimline seats in economy class. Boeing Co. last year announced it would build a new variant of its narrow-body 737 Max 8 aircraft with 11 more seats than the model under development.
