Atlanta to Honolulu ATL-HNL in Delta One (Definitive Thread)
It appears Delta has flights this month using 767-300 with business class for ATL-HNL. I think this is a new flight for Delta starting in August, non stop. But in September, these flights are 767-400 non-stop and are F class.
I was curious if anyone knows anything about this route and the 767-400s (as well as the fare codes), as I have not heard good things about the 767-400. Since its non-stop, and a 9 hour flight, will it be BE, or atleast have decent seats and meal service? Is it too soon to tell for September flights? I'm hoping this flight is offered BE in September/October. Any feedback on any of the above would be much appreciated!

If I am not mistaken, there have already been various topics about the ATL-HNL run.
Equipment will be a B764 with domestic first class, except for August, when a B763 will be used, which features the business elite seats.

In August, it is B/E with the same 763ER seating as usual. After that, it will be F with the same 764 seating as usual.

That sucks...why don't they modify those seats on the 767-400, or atleast stick with the 300 for the long HNL flights. Thanks for the replies and links though!</font>

It's +not+ about HOW you get there...
it's about HOW MANY get there WITH you!
Really is too bad 764s will replace 763s.
The 763 config must be Grrrreat to HNL.
I'm jealous just thinking about it.
But, then again, MissBumpMe! and I switched to CO and recently took its Business First service to HNL.... tre magnifique!
PS-
I Love, by the way, just LOVE your UserName!!!
Why didn't I think of that!!!?!!??!?!?!?!

How about the video on the 764s? Does each seat have its own video? Sounds to me like it doesn't. Never flown delta, curious. - aka, neat with a splash of spring water.</font>

FTraveler, thanks for the reply!
This board sure does provide feedback (I'm new to flyertalk.com)...dare I ask "what choices would I have of video next month via ATL-HNL and back? Menu?" Delta's website doesn't provide as much as CO, or maybe I'm just not used to navigating DL's site. CO has menu's and some good info on thier site. Maybe I'm just being a little too picky, eh?

The link for September hasn't been fixed yet. Give it a couple of days.

This week it was nearly identical except the steak was gone and a portobello mushroom was masquerading as same. Actually thought it was a piece of steak until I cut into it with my plastic knife.
I suspect you'll get a better menu on your ATL/HNL flight.
Enjoy!!

Any odds they will continue the 763 into September for direct ATL-HNL? I'm feeling lucky

Flying ATL to HNL on a 767-400...
I hope this isn't one of their planes where they are all economy! My friend and I are on first class award tickets for a flight in June to HNL. It shows flight 317 as being a 767-400 (764). If there is a first class section, can anyone tell me the bad side of sitting in row 1c and 1d (first middle seats) Seatguru shows it's not so great because their is no storage and it's close to the galley. Those two things don't bother me though. Any other reason not to book those seats? Thanks!
