Flying from MSP, but open to any hub. I assume that the Delta 330 is a great choice, and most of the 767 have been reconfigured. I see Delta is flying at least one route with a 737. I assume that is one to avoid. Any flights have a 747?

Are there any aircraft on AF or KLM to either rave about or shy away from? If on AF or KLM, an chance for a OPUP from Business to 1st? (they both run 3 cabin correct?) or would be reserved for their own FFers?

Thanks for the help.

DL only flies 763s (modified) and 764s to/from LHR. I prefer DL lie flat seats over AF or KL. They do not currently fly A330s to/from LHR and only a couple of A330s have been modified; I do not like the old angled seats on this a/c.

You could always fly into LHR, stay in London, then to CDG/Paris, and then home.

As far as OpUps, there are never any guarantees.
