If I got assigned 1A, I would opt for 10C or 10D instead. 2A and 2D are both fine.

The seats on 757 are exact same width (20.75) and same pitch (38" though some can be 37") as on 732. Main advantages are quiet during boarding since coach pax do not transit, no coach pax using fwd lavs so quieter then too. Main disadvantage is trying to disembark. I wish DL would follow other carriers in holding back coach pax until first class can disembark.

Hope this helps.

On the 732 you said air marshalls ALWAYS occupy seats 2B and 2C. We are scheduled to fly on a 732 in 2 months. My family has seats 2A, 2B and 2C assigned. Right now the only seats remaining are 1A and 1D according to our itinerary on Delta.com. Would our family get bumped out of first so an air marshall could sit in our seats? How does it work when those seats are already assigned?
