Summer 2012 TATL schedules look like they were updated last night with revised aircraft types (for those that were defaulted to the generic "763ER" previously). "No change" refers to comparison with last summer (2011).

Thanks as always.

Would be nice to get some foresight on which routes will get reconfigured flat-bed ships in advance, but it is likely to be luck of the draw and find out a few days in advance for quite awhile.

When we can hear more new nonstop ATL-GVA/BSL/CMN/ALG/CAI/VIE/NAP/LED/LIS?

Can DL will reinstated nonstop JFK-AMM/CAI? Is that still indefinitely suspended service until further notice. How much longer when they will bring it back to normal?

Still waiting on JFK-OSL direct...!

GYEWorldTraveler

And I'm still waiting on a LAX-LHR non stop

So if I was going JFK-ATH earlier in the year I would get one of the 763 with lie-flats but not in August? Great. Well at least I do better on the 333s than the old 763s.

I ran into another problem with these schedule changes because my return from ATH on 9/3 lost the connection at JFK for ATL and now I am routed through MSP. I had perfect planes and seats and now I must finish off 23 hours of travel (starting the day in CHQ) with an RJ2 for MSP-OKC.

looks like jfk to Valencia and Malaga are still on the 75's. I flew one of those routes last year in Y. One of the worst flights of my life. Cramped, no IFE, single aisle plane... I'd rather connect on a widebody to get to Southern parts of Spain then have to fly direct into anywhere TATL on the 75.

Hats off to DL for upgrading their widebody fleet, but the TATL 75's need some serious lovin.

GYEWorldTraveler

Fortunately for DL these are highly leisure routes and seasonal to VLC and AGP so I don't think they have too much to worry about in upgrading the premium product. I wish they would install some flatbeds in BE and in the case of the 75As install personal TVs in every seat but I'm sure it is a ways down on the list. I too would opt for a stop in MAD if I was flying to VLC or AGP just to have a ride on the 764 for the TATL flight.

Nothing on (ATL/JFK)-BRU?

ClipperDelta

Sorry about that; edited OP to include both JFK/ATL-BRU. Incidentally, JFK-BRU was the only 763ER route I could find that has already been loaded as the "76T", i.e., with the full-flat bed BE 763ERs.

DL2SXM

agree. The tourist routes get the bottom of the barrel, which is totally understandable. Maybe one day, after all the mods are done to the widebody fleet, we'll hear something regarding the 75's.

For my May trip to Seville, Spain, I can get as close as Malaga, then take a 3 hour train ride from there, but it would be on a 75 from jfk - agp, or I can go jfk - mad on a 764 and take a connecting flight on Iberia, whhich is only 1 hour long... the decision is an easy one to make. avoid the 75 tatl at all costs.

mnredfox

Nice, OP where did you get this info? Have any TPAC info?

c_d

What's with SLC?

andymo99

As always, check your itins. The reduction from daily on the later SEA-AMS flight caused a cxl for me and a re-route. I was then able to get reaccommodated on the flights I actually wanted from the start.

This is pretty routine when reserving way ahead of time.

ClipperDelta: do you know which CDG-ATL flight will be operating? I'm on DL 37 (9:20am) on June 1. My itineraries says it is operating, but it (along with the other DL operated flight) are not bookable on delta.com
