767 vs. 757 for upgrades
All,
Sorry if this has been covered before (I seem to recall it has, but a couple of searches didn't get me to the answer I was looking for...). In terms of upgrade odds, have people found the 763 or 752 to give better odds? I think the wildcard is what sort of 763 is offered...This is for SFO-ATL. This is how I interpret the numbers (Please let me know if I am missing something!): 752: 26/184 F seats (14.13%) 763: 24/262 F seats (9.16%) 763BE v1: 36/217 F seats (16.59%) 763BE v2: 30/215 F seats (13.95%) It looks as though the SFO-ATL flights are handled by the standard 763... Am I correct in interpreting that our upgrade odds would be significantly better on the 752? Thanks! |
Yes. The 757 Domestic is better for upgrades (and seats) than the 763.
Edit: When I said "service", I meant seats. |
Should also note that as a PM don't be too hopeful for an upgrade on the elite-heavy SFO-ATL run. Those flights frequently leave DMs on mid to high fare tickets sitting in the back... unless you are traveling on a real off-peak day and time.

I know the odds are very, very small, but you never know, particularly on Saturday/Wednesday travel. |
You could have some luck with Sat/Wed. Personally I like the 763 even though many people complain about the narrower seats in F. I just happen to prefer wide body planes, but the percentage of F to Y is poor especially compared to the 757 w/PTVs.

Here are the numbers I have based on data from seatguru (does not include ex-NWA)
Plane F-seats Coach Seats Total Seats F% 757-200 Version 1 (757) 24 162 186 12.90% 757-200 Version 2 (757) 24 162 186 12.90% 757-200 Transcon (75X) 26 158 184 14.13% 757-200 Ex-TWA (75E) 16 158 174 9.20% 757-300 (753) 24 203 227 10.57% 767-300 (76P/76Q) 24 238 262 9.16% |
I flew the 763 to SFO from ATL in April and the 763 had Business Elite. Not sure if it was a one off, is that what you are referring to as the "standard 763"?

Not the one I had listed. There are 3 versions of 757-300 that Delta flies. "Version 1" is DL. "Version 2 & 3" are NWA.

Delta has never had 757-300s. They all came from NW.
