I want to ensure the overnight is on a lie-flat. All of the DL routings I have found are either A330 or un-mod 763's. The only lie-flat I have found would be the AF A380 for JFK-CDG.
Are there other options I'm missing?
Thanks!
Do you mean lie-flat (i.e., angled flat surface when fully reclined) or true flat beds? The former is available on DL's A330s as well as AF A380s in Affaires.
True flat beds TATL generally require DL 767-400s, plus the very few reconfigured 767-300s (no guarantee at all that you won't get the horrid nonreconfigured 767-300 with the lounger BE seats) and possibly the 777 or a redone 747 (both rare TATL as opposed to TPAC). There's another thread on this, but to get true flat beds on AF requires La Premiere (IFC), which cannot be gotten with DL miles as an upgrade or award ticket, so figure a $10-20,000 ticket RT.
