Delta is now offering the option to pick a Preferred Seat 24 hours before your departure on select international flights.

This option is now available for flights to and from London, Barcelona & Tokyo-Narita and many others.

Preferred seats can be purchased for as little as $39 per segment or you can get complimentary access when booking a Y or B economy class ticket.

I am not sure that I am willing to pay extra money to pick a seat towards the front of the plane. I’d be happy with an aisle seat towards the back.

Preferred Seats are

• Bulkhead seats
• Aisle seats toward the front of the plane
• Window seats toward the front of the plane
• Emergency exit row seats

**Update**
Preferred Seating is also offered to Medallion members, SkyTeam Elite and SkyTeam Elite Plus members,  Alaska Airlines MVP and MVP Gold members.
