Of course, the airline knows it’s got a winner on its hands — in fact, Delta’s so confident that the A350 offers a far superior experience that it’s added a hefty $500 per-direction surcharge to some flights operated by the new plane.That’s what makes this deal particularly exciting — currently, you can book Delta One suites on the Airbus A350 starting at just $2,071 round-trip. And we’re not talking about a short hop to Europe — these flights to Beijing are 13 hours long, which works out to well under $100 per hour of suite time on the round-trip.Delta’s new suite looks fantastic.
