No matter how far out I attempt to book, even 6 months. I cannot believe that all the twin seats on all of these flights over 6 months are not available. They must be routinely blocked by Delta possibly to accommodate their Medallion members as first priority. I have not found this to be the case will all airlines. Some of the Asian airlines have the twin seating indicating availability before booking.
The only Y cabin in DL's fleet with 3-4-3 seating is the 744.
The 777 is 3-3-3; 767 is 2-3-2 and A330 2-4-2.
