You have to check your legs as baggage and there's a $70 fee.

Economy has a 31-32 inch seat pitch, meaning the length from the back of the seat in front of you to the back of your seat.

Taxes?! Isn't this the line for Metallica?
The layout for seating can be seen here:

why?
Disagree, comfort is amazing on 787.
business class
Delta sucks though, last time I flew them my legs could not fit in "premium economy seats. 6 hours of agony. 6'8".

The front page still gets no respect
Delta does suck but I think you are confusing Premium Economy with Comfort+ economy seats, which are completely different.

They are replacing the MD-80s with Bombardier C-Series jets as well.
What are you talking about?

I thought they were supposed to be similar - can you elaborate? Friend of mine, and her family finally had a chance to fly on 787, and they were amazed with how much better it was than a typical airplane. No weird pressure in the head or headache after a long flight (I know exactly what's she's referring to as I have the same problem most of the time - it's because of the low air pressure in the cabin), no dry nose, no need to cough due to low air humidity, which is typically a big problem for her.

The A350 is slightly wider and when both are configured for 9 seats per row you get more room. On the 787 it's like being crammed into a space smaller than an average municipal bus seat which let me tell you doing that for 12 hours fucking sucks.

It depends of the fleet,
Last time o took the dreamland bed was a JAL Flight and beforen ANA and I dont remember being terribad (192cm fall but on the skinny side)
I think I took once a A350 but it was business so not comparable at all.

It's not a legroom thing, it's a seat width thing. I'm skinny too but like my elbows need some space, and if you're sitting next to someone on the large side it can be pretty bad.
The A350's only a little bit wider but it's just enough to not feel super uncomfortable.
only ever flew with a 777 (6 times) and a 787 (4 times) on long-haul flights and... well I don't really get why people gush about the latter
it was quite a pain in the ass in many regards besides the already mentioned narrowness. I especially hated the window dimming thing, not only did it take a while to get dark and bright, but also was the cabin crew able completely restrict its use. Pretty awesome when you're tired as shit but they wont allow you to dim you fucking window
Dem biscoffs are the only reason to fly Delta when JetBlue exists. Unless JetBlue doesn't fly to where you need to go.
Which they don't most of the time for me. Maybe if they expand to Asia someday.
I would bet a lot of damn money on it being more expensive.

Not Delta, I know, but here are Economy reviews for Qatar, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Lufthansa, Thai Airways, FinnAir and China Airlines
I'm reading 50% more than economy, which honestly isn't too bad. Not something I would do every long flight but definitely better than paying for a suite lol.
