Thank you for the clarification. I thought that route was only SU!

I'm flying the 767-300ER (76W) from ATL-PDX in 2 weeks. I'm in BE, so I will take some pictures for you and give some analysis.

This makes me even more upset that DL changed the NRT - BKK route from a 744 to a 76W. Argh!

The 767 "coffin seats" are pretty uncomfortable for sleeping if you work out. I have wide shoulders and cannot lay flat on my back in these seats. Lying on my side is an option, but my size 12 feet are very tight in the cubby-hole. It is my least-favorite of the DL lie-flat seats.

Wow, looks like starting this month it daily loads the 76W for the first flight. I assume this won't be BE (ie no Westin amenities)?

I doubt it. I flew the 76W on a repo SEA-LAS earlier this year, no BE amenities to be seen but it was still the lie flat and plenty of room for a tall guy, so no complaints here. To respond more directly to your post, ATL-SEA doesn't have BE amenities, so I doubt a shorter ATL-PDX would offer it, even if operated by the 76W.

Sorry I might have mis-spoke. I meant I was sitting up front, not getting amenities. I'll take some shots though of the seats.

Took the 76L BE seat from ICN to SEA. I thought it was pretty comfortable. The foot well area is a little smaller but I really couldn't notice much of a difference.

Sorry this took so long to reply. Sitting upright, or even partially reclined, the seat was very comfortable. I sat in 7A on 76W 174, which took me from ATL-PDX. It continues on from there to NRT. Foot room is good when seat is up or partially reclined.



Here is the foot compartment with seat up.



As a test, I folded the seat down 100% to lie flat mode to test the foot room. Sadly, my pictures turned out lousy, so I have nothing to show there. I can say however that the foot room with bed folded flat is TIGHT! I'm 5'8" 170# and if I put my head at the very top of the seat/bed and stretched my toes they touched the end of the footwell. The pod/seat width is also pretty skinny and I had next to no room when laying down. I don't see how anyone who is bigger can sleep in this seat without discomfort. I've used both the 77L and 744 BE seats and this one was much smaller with the bed down.

My ATL/FCO RT booked in J on an A330 was recently downgraded to a 767, not happy about that at all, it's basically a different product. The connecting LAX/ATL equipment has changed from a 737 to a 757 back to a 737 and the return has changed from a 757 to a 777 and is now a 767, DL really can't make it it's mind about what equipment to fly!

mother-

In flat-bed mode they have the same problem as Y seats- too narrow at the shoulders. I found the new 757 flatbed seat with the collapsable armrest to completely ameliorate this problem. I wonder if they could reasonably retrofit the armrests?

Foot box is definitely tight...

Actually..."right-sizing" the flight is one of the things at which DL excels. Not easy when you want to nail down a seat assignment, but great for profitability.

I'm 6' for 180 and never had any issues with the seats/beds in BE of the 76W. I do like the the other ones better but still think the 76W are comfortable enough and allow for a good night sleep. My only issue is with the size and def of the TV.

WheelsFirst

I understand. It's just unfortunate when it switches to a clearly inferior seat. Switching from a 777 to A330 wouldn't make a difference but the 767 seats are simply a lower quality product.
