with this year’s series of schedule changes, it looks like early summer service is entirely on the 321neo
I think DL thinks the A321neo F seat is the best thing since sliced bread. Thus I think A321neo is here to stay on route. I'd rather a 739 F seat than A321neo new seat (especially wheb comes to windows).

If must fly SEA/JFK absent an absolute time need, I'll regularly fly down to LAX before booking A321neo nonstop.

I've even book two separate tickets, 1RT SEA-CDG and 1 RT CDG-JFK knowing i could pay to upgrade to AF J. (Total cost being nearly the same as the ridiculous pricing DL wanted for a domestic F nonstop plus the savings of 1 night hotel in NYC that spend onboard plane) Of course this only works if have the time.

Neither option realistic for most I get. Also I get most don't dislike the A321neo F seat like I do.
