Unless it switches to be on a 767-300ER I don't believe there is any chance to have flat-bed seats by next summer. The 330s don't start mods for a while and I would highly doubt ATL-HNL would be the first route to get the new configuration. Best bet for going from ATL-HNL in flatbeds will likely be routing ATL-LAX-HNL as you could possibly catch a 777 on ATL-LAX and a 76Z on LAX-HNL

Chris,
I'm flying ATL-LAX on 11/21--the flight is a 76ER...any ideas if this configuration has the PTV's in coach?.. I know seat guru/site is not always correct. .

Plus, having a Kindle to read books is another great way to pass time.
So, I'm perfectly happy without any entertainment on a plane these days since we are able to entertain ourselves much more easily.

Should be able to see on DL.com. Bring up your itinerary and it should have various icons for the amenities onboard like wifi, live tv, personal tv, overhead video, etc. Mouse over them to see what they are. Looks like all but one of the 767's flying that day has PTV's in economy.

Chris...I'm curious as to why none of the narrowbody Airbus' have received the standard issue Delta sidewall laminations, bulkheads and such...Sans the seat covers and carpet, they're Northwest interiors. Even the 5500 series 757's which are being retired received a complete interior overhaul.

I have a question on a 767 flight I have coming up on DL16 LAX-JFK in May 2013 and the DL seat map is showing 1-2-1 seating with 6 full rows and just 2 seats in row 7 in BusinessElite I don't see a subsequent layout on the SeatGuru. Is this a new configuration?

Yes...that's the new 76Z sub-fleet. It's got 26 flat-bed seats with direct aisle access in BE compared with 36 on the standard 76L flat-bed configuration. The 76Z has the new interior, seats and IFE and will have satellite-based Wi-Fi installed early next year.

Hey Chris, I would like to know, do you happen to know what will be the layout for the ex-Gulf Air 763ERs (the ones with six doors and two overwing exits)? When should the first of these aircraft go into mods? Also, what code will they be designated as?
