March 31 (UPI) — Delta Airlines will be reopening sales of its middle seats starting May 1, citing widespread COVID-19 vaccines and consumer demand for travel. Delta is the last U.S. airline to lift the prohibition on booking middle plane seats, which was undertaken as a pandemic health precaution. « As vaccinations become more widespread, consumer demand and behaviors show us that confidence in travel is on the rise, and customers are ready to reclaim their lives, » Delta said in a statement. The Atlanta-based air carrier has been blocking off the middle seats since April 2020, when flights became severely impacted by the pandemic. « It’s expensive.
