same way as on UA and AA lie flat BE equiped 757's;

1. If the aisle dude is not in lie-flat mode, no problem.
2. If the aisle dude is in lie-flat mode, step over him or you can always levitate.

Replace "him" with "her" above

Great pics, thanks for the review. One question: is that a dual-prong headphone jack next to the USB port?

Looks like a European AC power plug to me.

It is dual prong for headphones. And it will work with all plugs like current outlets on Delta. They do also have the USB.

Yes the whole plane. I only ever saw blue. Not sure if they have sunset colors like the 739 or not.

Wouldn't it make more sense to increase the angle and give every seat aisle access (like in the case of 747 upper deck)?

Do the geometry on that within the constraint of door positions on a 752. Post a diagram.

Bummer. I'm in JFK now headed to SEA on DL 441, the 9:15AM. Looks like this bird was the flight right before me, DL 440 that departed at 7:15AM. Using my last SWUs on K+ fares before the expire in June... Should have SDC'd cabin to cabin as OP if I had known last night... I was certainly up in time! Now I just hope 441 is not domestic F based on the other upgrade thread's warnings!

Oops, I stand corrected. Also not sure how I missed the giant multi-prong AC plug right below it...

it makes an immediate turn and heads back to JFK before heading to DUB tonight and back to JFK tomorrow. I still say the only reconfigured 757 should fly jfk - sea steady to make up for the 757 F version flights.

I've seen pictures of that exact lay out (I think on Anet). I don't think anyone is using it just yet. I would imagine if any airline would go for it, it would be Delta. This way, they can boast that they have lie-flat, direct aisle access on every international flight.

Did it look like the aisle seats got more foot room?
