The Atlanta-based carrier Tuesday announced plans for a cabin facelift for its planes, featuring updated seat coverings, new mood lighting, and an overall refresh for the airline's cabin aesthetic across the fleet.
Now, don't board your next Delta plane expecting to see the updated look; it'll be a bit of a methodical rollout.
By the end of this year, Delta plans to retrofit one of its Boeing 757 jets serving domestic and short-haul international routes with the new appearance. The new aesthetic will make its way onto a brand-new Delta Airbus A350 serving long-haul routes in early 2025.
However, the carrier eventually hopes to give its entire fleet a new — and uniform— look, Delta said Tuesday.
"This refreshed cabin interior infused utility with beauty to create an atmosphere that feels fresh, elevated, and timeless while reflecting our customers' evolving tastes and expectations," Delta vice president of customer experience design Mauricio Parise said in a statement announcing the news.
The changes will be evident as soon as you climb on board a Delta aircraft in the future. The airline's royal blue seat coverings will be replaced by a much darker color palette, trimmed in bright red striping.

New Delta branding and motifs will be evident around the cabin, too. Delta's shooting for an interior that "feels fresh, elevated and timeless," as the company's statement put it.
To be clear, Delta's not getting all-new seats, so don't expect a major hard product overhaul. This is more of a cosmetic update.
The seats will get a new trim and finish, plus new cushions on its 757s.
On jets with the Delta One cabin, the carrier says its new leather seat covers — atop memory foam — are better for temperature regulation.
And, Premium Select and domestic-style First Class seats will also get memory foam cushions, adorned in leather seat coverings.
Plus, it wouldn't be a cabin refresh without improved ambient lighting. Delta will offer a variety of mood lighting settings based on the stage of the flight, including a "warm and inviting" setting for boarding, with separate sunset and sunrise tones for overnight flights — not to mention a "candlelight" setting for dinner service.
The cabin itself will get a new trim and look, too, including new dividers featuring a "celestial sky pattern" and additional Delta branding.
Again, you won't see these changes right away. By late 2025, new jets delivered to Delta will have the updated look, a spokesperson told TPG.
Delta has dozens of wide-body aircraft slated for delivery in the coming years, including an order of 20 A350-1000s announced in

Over the last few years, the federal government has shown an increasing interest in credit cards and points and miles. Much of this originated with the proposed Credit Card Competition Act, but it has since expanded to major airlines and the loyalty programs they offer. Incidentally, the two original cosponsors of the CCCA were the first to call for an investigation into these frequent flyer programs — a call that ultimately led to the announcement of a formal probe by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
An upgraded travel experience just got cheaper.
