This wiki is intended to contain a list of opportunities to fly internationally configured wide-body aircraft within the United States, aside from the usual JFK-LAX/SFO 767s and newer domestic DeltaOne routes. This is a collaborative wiki, not an OP-maintained thread; please contribute by editing the wiki directly as you become aware of regularly scheduled or repositioning flights. Schedules change far more frequently than community members have time to update this wiki; therefore please verify the equipment before purchasing a flight.

The last 2 years there have been very few of them. SFO used to always get a couple of A330s in the winter but that doesn't happen anymore. I think the PHX widebodies also have stopped. LAX might still get something

I just noticed a 777-200 got loaded between ATL-JFK starting Christmas week (departing DL2941 return DL1968) through most of Jan-March. That seems unusual, although a 764 is often on that route. According to the seatmap on Delta it has delta one suites as first class and Premium Select as Comfort+, like the ATL-LAX route that has been operating for a while now.

Not all that unusual. I flew a scheduled JFK-ATL 777-200 in 2017 and as far back as 2009. It's usually a 4 PM or so departure from JFK. I go to New York for the same event the second weekend in February and I often try and fly back JFK-ATL-RDU because of the widebody. Last year it was a 764 instead.

It's just the D1 hard product, not the entire D1 experience.

So, does anybody know if ATL-FLL 767-300 service is a regular thing at this point? Or was the one that lost pressure an operational fluke?

Interesting, I haven't seen that before. A quick look on flight matrix for 767's on that route shows a flight this coming Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and the following Monday (22, 24, 26, and 30th of September) but none after that for the rest of the year.

I flew on a 763 on Monday from ATL-MCO (it came in from FLL) and was always scheduled as a 763 when I booked it 2 weeks before. It was using the 76T, which formally did all of the SEA-Asia routes, so I guess DL is just using them on domestic routes right now. I looked at FlightAware the next day and the same ship was doing some really weird routes like SLC-DEN and DEN-LAX.

would those latter routes be "informally"?
