This wiki is intended to contain a list of opportunities to fly internationally configured wide-body aircraft within the United States, aside from the usual JFK-LAX/SFO 767s and newer domestic DeltaOne routes. This is a collaborative wiki, not an OP-maintained thread; please contribute by editing the wiki directly as you become aware of regularly scheduled or repositioning flights. Schedules change far more frequently than community members have time to update this wiki; therefore please verify the equipment before purchasing a flight.

These international narrowbodies would normally also fly the domestic DeltaOne routes JFK-LAX/SFO, BOS-LAX, and DCA-LAX.

During COVID-19, when many international routes are suspended, they can be found on some domestic routes (including Hawai'i):

Regular service through March 2021:
JFK-LAS
JFK-PHX
JFK-SAN
JFK-SEA
JFK-SFO
JFK-SLC
LAX-KOA
SEA-KOA
SEA-OGG

Positioning / one-offs:
SLC-SEA
SLC-LAS
SLC-BOS 4x a week
BOS-LAX
JFK-MEX
JFK-SJU
LAX-HNL

one way to search for these on ITA

This Delta Cargo schedule lists wide body routes by region.



Looks like the A350 is running between LAX and ATL, Sunday only Red-Eye to ATL, Monday evening only return to LAX. Through Sept. 6th

Randomly stumbled across DL1264 SLC-JFK which may or may not be a 763 with lie-flats on 6/10, 6/12-15.

If you hover over the flight number in a search on those dates or expand the Details section it says 738, and the row of symbols does NOT have the lie-flat indicator; but if you click on View Seats it shows the map for a 763 -- some dates are the 7-row 26J TCON version, some are the 9-row 36J international.

Notice that for all the winter routes that they basically rotate aircraft at the same times flying opposite directions. Guess it helps keep them making money, but seems like it's risking having delayed flights by not having aircraft in position at the right time.

Very new here, but I just booked the A330 from SFO-ATL on 12/29 at 9:40 PM (DL 1193). Not sure if anyone had seen this yet.

Welcome to FT and thanks for the heads up! Looks like it's Dec 17-23 and 26-30, DL2243 ATL-SFO / DL1193 SFO-ATL.

Thank you! Do you know what the difference is between First Class on these domestic routes on the A333 in comparison to Delta One on these planes?

Service will be the same as regular domestic FC (non-D1 routes) - just a better seat. Whatever meal you would get in a 737 on SFO-ATL, that's what you'll get in the A330 on SFO-ATL. You will most likely receive the cheap red blanket and small pillow that you find in regular domestic FC.

Looks like DL has pulled the A330 on MSP-SEA/SEA-MSP for the couple weeks over Christmas. Updated the thread wiki to reflect this. I was planning to book this on my way back from MI but now that it's been changed (downguaged) so I'm glad I didn't waste the RUC on it when it was showing an A330.
