I'm so glad I switched from UA

Thank you, Chris, for these updates. All of these hard product improvements really add to my overall satisfaction with Delta.

I have one request though: any chance of getting the ability to listen to ATC over one of the in-flight channels? This was one of my favorite features of UA and it would be super awesome if it was available on DL.

Thanks again!

All 320's have trays in the arm rests for the first row.

The majority of 320's have their entire first class cabins with trays in their arm rests. The exception are ships 3225 and 3251 through 3278 -- these have the slimline first class seats with the tray tables in the back, the same seats found on the entire 319 fleet.

Ship numbers up through 3250 have the 1980's era first class seats that NWA'ers referred to as Barcaloungers.

Fat fingers? You might try skipping dessert too...

http://planefinder.net/data/flights/DL1101 shows the slimline seats 6 out of 25 times listed. Odds are pretty good my flight will have the wider seats with tray tables in the arm rests. I'm learning a lot from all of you - thanks!

Well I was on one of these horrible aircraft SAN-SLC with the tray table in the seat in front... Hopefully DL will update them soon.. So from now on, I'm booking in row 1 until all planes are updated.

Need advice. We just booked two flights and want to know if we made the right choice on seat locations for our flight from VCE to ATL for June of 2014. We are flying on a 767-300 Business Class. We chose 6B & 6C. Is this better for a couple or would one window and one aisle be better!

Also we are on a A330-300 on a flight from ATL to BCN in late May 2014. Any chance Delta is going to update to lay flats by this time?

Thanks for the help.

Definitely want B and C on the updated 763 for a couple. A333 in May 2014 might have new seats. We won't really know until we get a feel for the pace of the mods after peak summer flying is done.

FC seats on 757-200 (75U) and A320

Originally Posted by curious6
I'm thinking of flying Delta 1950/1101 (757-200 and A320) SEA-MSP-BWI next month. I usually select a last row seat in FC, wanting its wall to protect my seat back. My last Delta flight had a curtain between the cabins and small children behind me constantly kicked my seat - it was an unpleasant 4 hour flight.

Can anyone tell me if Delta's A320s have walls or curtains between FC and Economy?

Are the trays in FC on the seat backs for 757-200 and A320 or in the armrest?

It appears the last row on 757-200 has the galley and lavatory behind them. Are they noisy? Which row would you suggest if I should stay away from it?

I'm unable to find answers on SeatGuru, Google images, YouTube, or Delta. This is my 1st posting so please excuse me if my questions have already been answered on previous threads.
I thought I'd report answers to my questions:

757-200 (75U): All FC tray tables were in the armrests so the person behind me didn't impact my seat back. The lavatory extends halfway into Row 6, Seats A,B. That area would be affected by the activity and odors. I didn't ask the people in 6C,D if they felt vibrations every time the toilet was flushed

A320: I'm confirming that there is no bulkhead between FC and Economy. Fortunately, my flight did not have those slimline seats. All FC tray tables were in the armrests so the person behind me didn't impact my seat back. The FC passengers on this flight may have been sensitive to the pitch issue since no one reclined their seats.

Thanks again for helping to make this one of my most pleasant flights!

Hello Chris -

I was wondering if you could clarify what the model of the BE seat on the 74S is.

Thanks!

It is the Zodiac Seats U.S. (formerly Weber) Cirrus. The J seats on AA and US are virtually identical, except they are manufactured by Zodiac Seats France (formerly Sicma).

Thanks. Looking at the Cirrus, is that a very specific seat, or a family of customizable (by the airline) seats?

And, is there a more detailed breakdown/spec of the seat and it's inner related components publicly available?

Cool 767-300 (domestic)

We are flying DL1105 - SLC to HNL. The Delta seat map show this as a 767-300 in the domestic config. We have selected EC seats 13F/G. Various online sources indicate that Row 12 or Row 13 do not have windows. If it is Row 13 that does not have a window, I am thinking of moving to 10A/B. Insight and recommends?
