Be careful with this one. Sometimes they swap it out for an A330. I always see the flight waiting at the gate in IAD when I fly home on Fridays, and lately, it seems like it has been switching back and forth. Perhaps it was just a seasonal substitution?</font>
I've also seen an A340 sometimes, but very rarely. Both flights, the 5:00 and the 10:00 (Summer only, I think, on the second flight) are on the schedule as 777's.
As far as seating - I've actually scored my only two 'comps' (as a PM) on AF at IAD on the 5:00 (always lots of tourists/students in Y for some reason) - the AF IAD people are actually quite nice AND do recognize DL PM's.
The staff at the shared ANA(AM)/AF(PM) lounge next to AF's gate are also quite nice...if you are PM be sure to stop in.
It's the closest thing DL has to a 'lounge' at IAD.
