It may look like a snoring cigarette, but this little button (tippy-top left) on the armrest of your airplane seat can make all the difference. Hold it for a few seconds and you'll go from staring straight head at the seatback TV, watching The King's Speech, to gazing up at the overhead compartment above you, ready to slip on a sleeping mask and conk out. That's right; this magic button is the key to spending a transatlantic flight laying down, 180-degrees flat.
You'll find the button—along with the similarly magical back massage controls—on DeltaBusinessElite seats between New York and London, and other US-international destinations as they install them on the 767-400Ds and 777-200LRs (see exactly where here). We hopped on the 767-400D flight to LHR late last week and thus, we'll take you on a complete tour of the BizElite cabin (featuring single seats!!) tomorrow.
This is but a teasing. No, really this is:
That's one of the solo BizElite seats—9D to be specific—in fully-flat mode, with the quilted blanket still packaged and ready to go. Yes, you get a pillow too, but for all of that deliciousness, stop back for the full photo gallery tomorrow. Cross our hearts.
