D is an aisle seats on the MD-88 and anything with a 3-3 cross section while it's a middle seat on the 717 and MD-90 and the 767 and A330 (and a window seat on the regional jets). No need to continue listing as I think everyone sees the point. I just wonder how they verify one is in a middle seat on their flight and thus has access to the lounge or if it will really be an "honor system" type thing.
I wonder if this is part of the difficulty with them implementing a "No C+ Middle" preference setting for our profiles. At first blush it seems like it would be easy to just exclude B and E seats. But in reality, they would need to not only account for aircraft type, but also figure out logic for addressing equipment changes.
According to SeatGuru, the middle seats on the various Delta aircraft are:
- A330: D, F
- A350 E, F for PS, B, E, H for Y
- B767: D
- B777: B, E, H
- A319/320/321: B, E
- B717: D
- B737: B, E
- B757: B, E
- E175: None
- MD88: B
- MD90: D
- CRJ 100/200/700/900: None
- E145: None
So, it would appear that the only seat designations in use which are *never* a middle are A, C, and G (and J on the 777).
