I didn't complain to DL, but was pretty annoyed that they can't even show the proper equip when it was changed many hours prior.
That I would take issue with. If it's a last minute swap, that's one thing, but if they swap the aircraft several days before departure, and don't update the seat map, that is potentially some false advertising. In that case, people are buying what they think is a flat bed aircraft, but in reality are receiving normal recliner first.
