You don’t have to make an announcement on delta even in coach that you need to wear headphones and cannot just blast sound from your device for the entire plane to hear. Most folks are civil, generally well groomed, and not carrying a 3ft tall plastic cup they plan to take home and put on top of their fridge to collect dust for the next decade. That’s the difference and sometimes that experience is worth the extra money.
I would beg to differ somewhat on the clientele. AA MIA to DCA last week the poor FA had to tell a passenger 4 times to use headsets. The level of cleanliness and level of couth are the same these days. particularly in the back
