By the way, one other way to confirm if you're on the D1 flight is look at the seat map and aircraft assigned to the route. If it's a 75S, it's a D1 757.
Obviously there can be an equipment swap, but the D1 equipped 757 is the only one with 16 seats up front.
Yup -- 16 seats and is the 75S. Good to know that I wasn't crazy in this situation -- on the DL app, it says the flight has FC, C+, Y. But because my flight is one two that is designated as D1, I'm wondering if this is where the glitch happened -- that whomever set up the program that pushes out the pre-order emails didn't account for these exceptions.
