Me too. Although I still remember the first time I flew into TXL I thought we'd landed at the wrong airport -- this little place can't possibly be the airport for such a major city, can it? But I came to really appreciate it -- I'd be off the plane and onto the bus to Alexanderplatz in 10 minutes or less.

The first three reconfigured 757s are scheduled to enter service in July, but those aircraft are destined for the transcontinental BusinessElite routes. The balance of the 75E fleet isn't due for completion before summer 2015, so it's extremely unlikely JFK-ARN will see any 757s with flat beds this summer.

Seasonal JFK-ZRH is scheduled to return June 15 2014:
DL206 JFK 7:31pm ZRH 9:45am+ 76W Daily (starts 6/15/14)
DL207 ZRH 10:20am JFK 1:10pm 76W Daily (starts 6/16/14)
The reason it wasn't listed in DLCorpGal's OP was because the seasonal list was for seasonal destinations. ZRH isn't a seasonal destination (courtesy of year-round ATL-ZRH service), so JFK-ZRH is considered a supplemental flight to existing ZRH service...but it is on the schedule for this summer...

This is good news! Maybe Delta would take another look at this route if PS keep on expanding in JFK.

For a moment i thought i could read:
- JFK-Berlin will recommence, effective May 23, 2014 The flight will operate daily throughout the summer season using a Boeing 767-300 aircraft with 225 seats in conjunction with Delta’s joint venture partner Air France KLM.
In addition we will operate ATL- Berlin for the first time during the summer season starting May 2, 2014 with 5 weekly flights using a Airbus A330 Aircraft with 275 seats.

Just wishful thinking from me ( and apparently a few others as well )!

JFK-PSA
Considering we're halfway through March, I would imagine most if not all the summer schedules have been loaded. However when I check the DL timetable, JFK-PSA is still listed as a 757-200. If this is correct and I am not mistaken, this beats the current TATL 757 record holder EWR-TXL by over 130 nm--how will this plane regularly fly this route, especially west-bound? Block off several rows?

Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks!
(PS--well aware that CVG-AMS and DTW-DUS were previously flown by 75Ls and are longer but both have since been cancelled and at least pmNW configured their 75Ls with fewer seats. Plus UA's 757s (configured similarly to DL's) struggle with TXL/STR/BCN even in the summer when there are thunderstorms and those are 100-200nm closer than PSA)

Delta isn't opposed to stretching the 752's legs. ATL-BSB is slightly longer than JFK-PSA even but I imagine westbound PSA-JFK could end up being a longer flight and might end up needing a tech stop some days.
