Many of DL's TPAC routes are under 12 hours, especially from SEA. Also, the current routings tend to rotate the TPAC aircraft on to intraAsia destinations, which are all under 12 hours and at best are D1 light service.

The Vantage XL seat for the A350/777 is about four inches wider than the 767 Vantage seat. This doesn't include additional storage space.

The picture looks like it must be longer too, in that there's more room in the little aisle between the aisle and the window seat even though if anything the console table looks bigger.

I can't say I agree, especially with the info from DL's press release I'd say this looks significantly nicer than the Polaris hard product, though I'd be curious if DL have any soft product upgrades planned. Those Polaris lounges look pretty nice.

Very happy they are trying to improve D1. Although the current seats have all aisle access, I often find them in poor condition. To me, the new seats look like EY's J seats on their 77L's but with doors, which isn't bad. However, I am interested to see how these seats will compete with Polaris. I don't want to say which is better before trying both.
