Are these extra sections or??
A search for MSY-LGA and MSY-LAX doesn't show anything that looks like a reconfigured 319.

Search by schedule or for First class. These planes have no Y seats. Just 54 F seats.

Interesting. Smart way to add premium capacity for the super bowl.

Delta always upgauges for the Super Bowl usually more aggressively than other airlines but this is the first time I've seen this!

Only FC must imply no upgrades. A one way fare of $1500 must be full F, not A or even refundable P.

And just wait for the inevitable schedule and equipment changes.

There are few things in life better than flying home from the Super Bowl first class after your team won.

Seat map to LAX only shows 8 open, but what I want to know is... what are seats 95X and 95Z? It looks like they're where the rear galley should be.

What kind of legroom do these birds have? Seems with only 14 rows of F, it would be quite a bit more than the standard 36" FC pitch...
