Trip Report: Tampa (TPA) to New York (JFK) - Delta Airlines Comfort+ - Boeing 737-900ER

Welcome to my new channel! This is my first trip report, and just through editing I can already see lots of room to improve for future videos. This trip was on Memorial Day, so definitely a busy time to travel! I originally paid for a main cabin seat, but due to my medallion status, Delta gave me a complimentary upgrade to Comfort+ not long after check-in. My thoughts on Comfort+, which were not expressed in the video: I'll definitely take it over main cabin if given a free upgrade. Comfort+ gives about 3 extra inches of legroom and earlier boarding, which comes in handy given that I'm 6' 1", but I'm not too picky, so I'm fine with sitting in main cabin most of the time. I probably wouldn't pay to upgrade for a short (less than 3 hour) flight, but for longer ones I would definitely consider it.
