757 BE seating
Sorry to ask this (I'm sure it has been asked before) but the search function is not satisfactory as there are way too many Delta threads to find an answer. What are the preferred seats in the 757-200 BE cabin transatlantic? Seatguru indicates row 1 has extra legroom but is it noisy because of the galley? many thanks

no real difference. I prefer rows further to the front to be served earlier. But it doesn't matter. The seat pitch is long enough on any row in BE. For all of them it is a bit hard to get out if you have the window seat and the aisle seat is fully reclined. I don't think row 1 is a lot better in that respect.

OP- Remember there are two 757 versions that DL uses transatlantic. One ex-TWA and one ex-NWA.
The ex-TWA are much nicer in my opinion. They just re-fitted these in the last year or so.
The ex-NWA do not have an in-seat video screen in BE, they bring you one to plug in.

If the coach section has two rows of overwing exits and coach goes from about rows 16-40 it is an ex-NWA 757. If there is an exit row at Row 36 (right behind the mid-cabin lavs) and coach goes from rows 18-44 you are on an ex-TWA 757

I love the ex-TW/AA birds. They're very comfortable, in general, but I tend to avoid row 4. The A/B side is in front of the bathroom, and the C/D side is in front of a beverage center for Y. You'll hear ice being crushed the entire flight.
