JFK-NRT stop >10/3, do I want ATL777 or DTW A330?
Booked to SIN D1 (award) in November (return from HKG in December). Just got a call from Delta that they're discontinuing the JFK-NRT flights. I was auto-rerouted to Detroit - timing almost the same. Plane switched from 777 JFK-NRT to an A330. I would love to fly the 747 since DTW is one of the few routes left but I can't find it on the schedule.
So - for a couple in D1 (not that it matters - we've got seats together on the 767 NRT-SIN and across the aisle on the A330 return to Seattle) do I stick with the Detroit routing, or ask for the Atlanta routing (which is on a 777)? Timing is about the same for each (in terms of overall travel time).
[our first Delta One trip was LHR in January, so this will only be our 2nd - we're excited
] Thanks!

I had to rebook my return NRT-JFK on 10/8 when I first learned about this a couple of weeks ago. I chose the 747 thru Detroit. It allowed me to get an upper level D1 seat before the 747 leave the fleet.
