Delta will continue to block middle seats and limit the number of passengers onboard an aircraft until at least January 6, 2021. According to the airline, it’s about going above and beyond the Center for Disease Control guidelines. Delta wants passengers to travel with confidence. Blocking the middle seats is part of a suite of moves designed to ensure that happens. “Medical experts agree, more distance onboard makes a difference,” said Delta’s Chief Customer Experience Officer Bill Lentsch. Delta says passengers traveling solo or with one other person will have a blocked seat next to them. For passengers traveling with two or more other people, the middle seat will be available if preferred. That allows, say, two parents to travel together with their child, or three friends to sit together. “We’ll continue taking a thoughtful, layered approach ensuring customers know to expect the highest standard of care,” says Mr Lentsch.<br/>
