I've noticed the same...something has changed recently on the seat maps for all of the 76Z v1. When I booked, and from DL's generic seat map for the 76Z v1, it shows that CDE are regular seats for rows 16 and 17. But just this past week, my flight's seat map has changed to indicated that 16/17 CDE are now economy comfort seat. I looked at other 76Zv1 future flights, and they show the same thing too. Does anyone have any very recent experience on the 76Z v1, and can comment if something has changed to CDE of row 16 and 17? Or was there a mistake in a recent upload of the 76Z v1 seat map that they globally applied to all 76Z v1 current and future reservation seat maps?

My flight: DL 228 CVG-CDG May 10

Some random other future flights that show 16/17 CDE as economy comfort:
DL420 JFK-LAX May 6
DL472 JFK-LAX May 6
DL424 JFK-LAX May 6

DL642 NRT-PDX May 15
DL611 HNL-NGO May 16

I mean, just keep looking...all of the 76Z v1 seat maps are showing 16 and 17 CDE as economy comfort.

Can anyone confirm this change?

My wife and I are flying long-haul (AMS-SEA)on the Delta A3L3 soon, and have selected seats 10A and B. Both being fairly tall, we are worried by the claims on Seatguru for this particular aircraft that legroom is compromised due to the close positioning of the bulkhead. Despite several Google searches, it seems experience and pictures of this particular row, and the outer seats in particular, are close to non-existent.

Does anybody have first hand experience of seats 10A and/or B on this aircraft (or H/J on the other side)? Even if you can point out a picture somewhere in the boundless ether that is the internet, it would be much appreciated!

Meant to post about this a while ago but wanted to echo the thoughts about Row 15 (specifically, 15CDE) on the 767-400 while flying LAX-ATL earlier this year. It's pretty tight and uncomfortable. I usually prefer the bulkhead rows because then no one is reclining into me. However, I would advise against this seat - no room to stretch your legs. Thankfully this was a daytime flight and only about 4 hours in the air and not a transatlantic redeye.

Couple of questions here, mostly about the A333 (3L3). It seems most of the hubub about the new 333s has been about the 1-2-1 lie flat BE cabin, so I'm having a hard time finding anything, and all the links in the Wiki go to pics of the old 333 with the exit slide (and just FYI, the last link under the 333 is dead).

So here's the deal: my girlfriend and I are taking a trip in July, and each TATL segment is on a 333. I picked seats in row 10AB for the outbound and 10HJ for the inbound. Word on the street is the old config had the "infinite legroom" for 10B and 10H, but now that it's a bulkhead, what should we expect? Is the first row of EC like the bulkhead on a 763ER, or are we looking at more like the 764 and domestic 763? I haven't been able to find anything written or photographed about row 10, and the reason I'm a bit concerned that it might not be so great is that 10AB and HJ are yellow on Seatguru (I know, it's SG so take it with a grain of salt, but row 10 on a domestic 763 is green on SG, hence my concern). Also, the outbound is mostly full in EC but row 10 is completely untouched (the return flight is totally empty in EC). I wanted the bulkhead so we could hopefully have a bit more legroom, and also to avoid the entertainment boxes under certain seats (there's nothing like thinking you'll get to put a small bug under the seat or stretch out your legs, only to have the box...). I don't care about infinite legroom (like on 757s), just as long as there's something (like on the 763ERs). Also, is the IFE a PTV stowed in the armrest or is it mounted on the bulkhead in front of each seat?


Also, another EC question really quick. One segment is on a 738 (non-AVOD). I don't know how many of these are even left (I was surprised to see the overhead icon under flight info), does anyone have a clue how many of these are left/how likely it is that we would actually be on a 738 instead of a 73H? Just curious; I know to avoid the row 10, I'm just curious mostly because of AVOD and power ports.

I found that 10AB on the refurbished A333 had a large amount of legroom. I don't recall if the video was in seat or on the wall in front of me.

tentseller

There is a larger monitor on the bulkhead wall for the flight info and safety video. Your personal video is still in the armrest. You do get better legroom than the rest of the A330 EC seats but the cost is a narrower seat with the monitor and tray table in the armrest.
If there are two of you do note that the centre armrest does not flip up on the bulkhead row. Some couples does not like that on a long haul flight.

For me 10A or 10J when i am alone and other AB/HJ pair when flying with DW.

Wonderful, I'm glad to hear y'alls input. I frequently sit at the bulkhead (with the exception of aircraft like the 737-800), so I'm used to having the immovable armrests. That's okay with us. I'm also glad the PTV is in the armrest; I haven't had a chance to ride a refurbished 763ER, but all the old 76Us and 76Gs I used to take had lots of legroom at row 16 or 15, but if they had wall-mounted AVOD (like the domestic 763s or 73Hs), it would be a pain to have to try to navigate the media and screen. We're in 10HJ SEA-AMS, and 10AB AMS-BOS. Narrower seats won't be a big deal, either. Neither of us are overweight or very tall or whatever would make the seats too uncomfortable.

Hi everyone,

I hope I could get some advice regarding EC seating on a TPAC flight.
I'm flying SEA-HKG in November, and even though I usually fly on *A metal, I ended up on Delta this time, as someone else purchased my ticket and I didn't get to choose a preferred carrier.
The SEA-HKG flight time is listed as 14H 50M, which I find really long for the distance between the two cities (maybe very strong headwind during that time of the year?), so I'm seriously considering purchasing an EC seat.
The equipment is listed as A300-200 (from the seat map, it is the A3L2 version).
I am 6 feet tall and consider myself normal build.

1) Delta is asking me for $139 for a one-way EC seat.
I'm not sure if this is a reasonable price, but does the pricing for EC fluctuate, meaning I may end up with a higher/lower offer depending on when I check and how many seats are left at that point?

2) I found several posts about the "best" EC seat on the A333 and A332, but didn't have good luck finding much information for the A3L2.
What are some of the better EC seats on the A3L2?

3) From your experience, do you find purchasing an EC seat on this aircraft worth the spend?
Does it make a significant difference for sitting/sleeping comfort?

4) Lastly...if $139 is not worth the spend, are there any regular Y seats that are considered better than the rest?

Thanks a lot in advance-

I actually saw prices increase on an international flight recently. It went from $69 (full price, $34.50 with discount) to $89 (full price, $44.50 with discount). I don't know what causes the price changes, but I think there's a thread around here somewhere with reports.

I have been trying to find an answer to my question everywhere but havent found the right answer. So, hopefully someone can let me know here.

The A330-300 flight has 32 Economy Comfort seats from row 10 to 13, just like the modified A330-200 (3L2). But the row 13 on 3L3 has a window missing (or) is too far ahead from the seat.
Is this true for the 3L2 also? And while I am here, I'd also like to know if the leg space is reduced if I am on the 13J seat due the AV equipment under the 12J seat?
I am going to be taking this from MSP to CDG (DL171).

Any response is greatly appreciated. If this specific question is already discussed somewhere, please be kind enough to direct me to the right thread. I apologize if I have posted an already answered question.

Hi, first post here. Usually checking SeatGuru but glad I just found you guys.
Going to Japan in November and exit rows on the 74S are already fully booked. So far, I booked 31C, so I wouldn't have to mind about reclining as there's no one behind me (exit row seats' tray tables aren't hooked to row 31 seats). It's a 15-hour flight and I'm wondering if I'm better off keeping this seat or moving to 22H (I'm 6'2") or 22K (privacy). What are your thoughts? The upgrade to EC is 160$ each way.

tentseller

Between 22 H and K I would take K.
Row 22 is the "bulkhead" row so the seat width is a bit less due to tray table and IFE screen stowage in the armrest. Legroom is great for your height.
Besides extra legroom EC seats have more recline.

No comment on the value of the EC upgrades as I get complimentary EC seating.

Thanks tentseller. Since I've never been on such a long flight (I'm used to 5-7 hour flights), I'm curious as to how much time does one have to put its seat in the upright position for food service as to allow the person behind to use its tray table. Or is the tray table accessible even when the person in front is in full recline?
