Layflat Seats - PDX to HKG
I want to book in business class from PDX-NRT but have conflicting information. Delta's website shows icons that indicate lay flat sleeper seats on the two flights but when I spoke to a reservation agent they said no lay flat sleeper seats.
Anyone know if the 767-300 from PDX-NRT or the 777 from NRT-HKG have layflats?
The web access iccon also shows up, is internet connectivity available on these flights?

Layflat Seats - PDX to HKG
PDX-NRT is still PMNW WBC, angled lie flat but not the same flat beds as are now on the 777s and 744s.
NRT-HKG is fully flat bed 777, but occasionally there is an equipment change (rarely).
Neither has Internet connectivity.

If lie-flats are more important to you than having to make a double connection, MSP-NRT and LAX-NRT are both operated on the 777 with very nice seating. If the screenshot you posted has your actual dates, then SEA-NRT is still an A330 (it goes to a 747 this summer) and that won't get you the lie-flats either.

And laying on any seat is strictly prohibited.

A lot of people say (lay or lie) flat when they mean angled (lay or lie) flat seats, like on the A330. The term flat bed is what's meant here, for the type of seats on the 747s, 777s, 767-400s, and reconfigured 767-300s.

And having sex on them is not permitted.
Didn't realize so many FTers were grammatically challenged

PDX-NRT is now scheduled to be operated with the reconfigured 767-300ERs (the 76Z version with 25 flat-bed BE seats for sale). The 76Z is also the type that will be used for JFK-LAX BE transcon service, which will have wi-fi; hence the wifi icon appears for the PDX-NRT flight....
