Hi Everyone--I'm over from the Delta forum, where my wife and I are both PM level flyers. We have just booked an ATL-EWR-ARN RT in Biz/First, which utilizes the 752 on the TATL portion. My wife does work once or twice a year in Sweden and I have cousins there. Unfortunately, ARN is one of the few places we ever fly that we can't get to direct from ATL. We have connected through various European airports (AMS, CPH, FRA) and none of them have thrilled us for one reason or another. Thus, we are going to try this option of connecting here in the US (EWR), and having the whole journey on one carrier.

It sounds like some like the 752 for Biz/First TATL and some don't. I'd be curious to hear comparisons from any of you between this product and Delta's BE TATL products--the 763 or the 764, particularly in terms of the seats. Looking at seatguru, it looks like the seats are a little wider (20 v 18.5) but the pitch is a little less (55 v 60). How are they for sleeping on the outbound segment?

Any other current comments would be greatly appreciated as well, including either CAL lounges or DAL CRCs that will be in the areas of EWR that we are likely to be on this itinerary. We have 2.5 hours there on the outbound and slightly under 2 hours on the return.

Cheers
