Delta's economy cabin usually offers a seat pitch of 31-32 inches, in line with competitors, although there are variations on some aircraft.
A bonus for business travellers is that the first 10 rows of seats on 757 and 767-400 aircraft offer 110-volt power points.
Food and beverage service varies according to the length of flight and is shown in detail on Delta's own website. In general however, on domestic services, if you want hot food and alcohol, you have to pay for it. You may also have to pay for hold baggage.
