A BUMPY ride aboard Delta's First Class | Flight Review | JFK-Chicago O'Hare | Embraer E175

What should have been a simple two-hour domestic sector quickly became an experience I really wasn’t expecting. From the moment we levelled off, the seatbelt sign stayed firmly on — and stayed on for the entire flight. No moving around, no getting up, and no chance to really explore the cabin the way I usually would. In this review, I take you through the full Delta First Class offering on this route: the seat, service, the snack basket — and the Delta Sky Club lounge which ISN'T included (although I managed to hack my way inside!). Was it underwhelming? Surprising? Or just one of those flights you chalk up to the realities of aviation?
