I was ready with MSP-JFK-LHR-DEL, or via BOS etc-- all came back with "computer says no" -- "Z Class isn't available".
Even asking a supervisor they came up with the AMS/LHR connections from MSP, which might be ok if there weren't 6 hours in AMS and 5 hours in LHR!
One issue I'm realizing is that there needs to be VS codeshares on Delta metal available in Z class from MSP to XXX (BOS/JFK/AMS/ATL etc) to a connecting city.
I'm also now seeing Z class with an 07:00 departure, then 9 hours in JFK. Ugh.
