Advice Needed For DL Newbie
Hi all
Long time BA / AA transatlantic flyer in J, OneWorld Sapphire. But I'm seeing some incredible fares ex DUB with DL, usually on KL / AF codes. I'm looking at LAS which operates via ATL on A333 or JFK on 764
My questions are, is the A330 or 764 better in business? What about the domestic legs, JFK-LAS or ATL-LAS? And what is DL like transatlantic in comparison to BA & AA?
Thanks!

The A330 has the better seat. Think what AA has installed for FC on the A321T, but with a bit more padding.
D1 is much better then BA or AA J. Better food, better service, etc. The Delta lounges are also much nicer then AA. Actual food, better alcohol, (though have to pay for the top stuff). I fly both OW and ST. I much prefer DO over AA/BA.

Domestic Portion
ATL-LAS will have a mix of 738's, 739's, and 757's. People generally don't like the F seats in the 739's so i try to normally stay away.
JFK-LAS is mostly 738's and 757's. I find them all to be similar TBH so take your pick.

if you're not time-constrained, go via JFK and do a Same-Day-Confirmed (SDC) after clearing Customs & Immigration ... $75 (presuming you don't have status with DL or FlyingBlue) to change JFK-LAS to JFK-LAX-LAS; take advantage of the Delta One service on the long TCON leg

Intl is usually trickier with this then domestic, but if you can book it for the same price as two one-ways vs a round trip, then the domestic segment on the inbound is the last leg.
