I have done a 1-2-1 config before on a 777 on continental. I have never been on an upper deck before. I hear that it is very quiet and would be ideal with my children. Both my kids are very well behaived and usually sleep through the entire flight. I just am not sure how the 1-1 layout will work not sitting directly next to my 4 yr old. any suggestions?
also. i was hoping for several months now that our itinerary would change from the old plane to the new. Looks like my wishes were answered this morning when i recieved an email from delta with a change in itinerary. (it was only change in seats due to new plane reconfiguration.)
what are the chances my outbound flight will also change? its a jfk-tlv flight in May.
thanks...^
I would think with a 4 year-old you would be better downstairs in the 1-2-1. That being said, if you go upperdeck you would have relatively easy access to your child across the aisle - so I guess it depends on how comfortable you think your child will be sitting alone.
I think the likelihood of changes are pretty high at this point as they are working the schedule. That unfortuatnely also means your return may be changed back to an old version too.
P.S. Note to others: Let's not hijack this thread to another DL vs UA pricing and why DL stinks. The thread is to discuss the modification of the 747 plane. People click through to see what's going on with the plane - not to hear the same tired conversation about why you don't like DL.
