Plane confusion?
Hi all
I'm flying DL8672 (operating as AF 689) tomorrow from Atlanta to CDG. Booked through Delta and I chose my seat assignment on Air France which showed the 2 2 2 layout. When checking in on Delta it appears that the seat layout has changed to a 1 2 1 configuration, which is also verified on expertflyer (see below). When adding the AF flight number to EF I can't find the flight.
It still looks like an A380, has there been a cabin change?
thanks
JB

Most likely, new plane is 777.

Another indication showing that it’s not an A380 is that J seats are numbered from 60 to something like 80 in the A380.
AF688/689 tomorrow indeed operates with a B77W. But the seat map displayed by DL is wrong : row 1 is P, not J and row 2 doesn’t exist. J starts on row 3.

The seat map displayed in the OP is neither the B77W (for the reasons you mentioned) nor the A380 (2-2-2, seats 60-73).

Why not just look your flight up on the Air France website, rather than going round the houses to every other possible avenue - Delta, Expert Flyer, Flyer Talk - EXCEPT the operator of the flight?
