New SEA-AMS 767-300er?

Was booking a trip to AMS in June and noticed the new SEA-AMS flight is shown with a 767-400 on Delta's site- when you click the seat map.
On Delta's announcement of new routes, it was supposed to be a 767-300er. Either way, Im wondering if this new aircraft will have lie flat seats or not.
Seems like a good time to do it, when adding a brand new route.
Any info on this?

Take a look at the seat map.

If it's 1 (aisle) 2 (aisle) 1 with 10 rows of seats, it's the lie flats.

otherwise it is not.

What days are you looking at? In August, I'm only seeing the normal, one-a-day A333.

(It's not a new route, just a few more frequencies).

I also tried some random June and July dates and saw only the usual schedule on the A333.

The 767 operates 3x weekly along with the daily 333

The seat map shows 767-400 in the title, but the layout shown is a standard 767-300ER. It appears to be nothing more than a website glitch - the aircraft is a 767-300ER as announced.

It is indeed a glitch but an annoying one.

Almost all 763 routes are currently displayed as Boeing 767-400 Passenger. When I saw that first I was happy (pTV, lie flat, etc.) but I quickly learned it's just a glitch that sticks around when saw the seat map ...

i thought it might just be a glitch, but I also hoped for the 400.
I heard some rumblings about all the 300's being upgraded by April?
That sounds pretty optimistic, but I hope its true.

All the 76Ts (767300-ER will lie flat crew rest - a small sub-fleet of 7 frames used for longer routes) will get PTVs in Y by April. They were also supposed to get lie flats in C but the first airplane to come out of conversion hade the same old recline BEs.
There is no date for the remaining 76Es.
