There are a very select few domestic routes that use a 767-300 or 777. The international 757s with flat beds show up on some domestic routes as well (like JFK-MIA), but they are often swapped out for a "regular" 757 at the last minute.
You really need to fly overseas to guarantee an internationally-equipped aircraft.
I know. I actually thought there was none domestically unless I happen to catch a 777. However, on recent flights between MIA -SJU, there was 757 (I think) with it. I was confused when I first got on. Figure it must be that they needed it for some longer flight elsewhere and was just repositioning the plane. But turns out that they were using that plane round trip. Which lead me to my inquiry here.
