It wasn't very many. Delta's original configuration on the 880 was all First Class, and as I recall this didn't last very long. Initially though the plane had a lounge and I'm going to say about 60 seats.
21. Well, it was more than 60 seats. So here's a hint:
Seating configuration was 2-2 throughout the cabin except at the front of the airplane behind the flight deck and galley where the lounge you have mentioned was located. So we are looking for the total number of seats in the airplane to include the main cabin and the lounge.
And here's another hint: it was less than 100 seats.
