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.

These international narrowbodies would normally also fly the domestic DeltaOne routes JFK-LAX/SFO, BOS-LAX, and DCA-LAX.
During COVID-19, when many international routes are suspended, they can be found on some domestic routes (including Hawai'i):
Regular service through March 2021:
JFK-LAS
JFK-PHX
JFK-SAN
JFK-SEA
JFK-SFO
JFK-SLC
LAX-KOA
SEA-KOA
SEA-OGG
Positioning / one-offs:
SLC-SEA
SLC-LAS
SLC-BOS 4x a week
BOS-LAX
JFK-MEX
JFK-SJU
LAX-HNL
one way to search for these on ITA
This Delta Cargo schedule lists wide body routes by region.
Looks like the A350 is running between LAX and ATL, Sunday only Red-Eye to ATL, Monday evening only return to LAX. Through Sept. 6th

Basically yes, but in a slightly more educated manner. Start with the PDF schedules. Then when aircraft seem to be rotating (i.e. 10/26), check flights between hubs/international gateways, and a week or two on either side. Also check the same, and other major routes, around peak holiday travel times.

I edited the Wiki to include ATL-LAS-ATL (76W) and DTW-SAN-DTW (332) on the Sunday following Thanksgiving.
Not certain what this is suppose to mean. Domestic 747 runs have always been "very difficult to find if not impossible" -- they've been used solely for IRROPS, repositioning and capacity additions following Thanksgiving; the number of domestic flights they've been operated on to/from ATL for these reasons is about the same as to/from DTW -- and the overall number is very, very small.
The only truly scheduled domestic 747 flight DL has operated post-merger is that of ATL/HNL. Prior to that, you'd have to go back to the late 1990s when NW scheduled 747 seasonally on DTW/MSP-MCO and MSP-HNL. The 747 also made some cameo appearances (not in the timetable) MSP-HNL in the 2000s.

The few 747 positioning flights over the past several years have been nearly exclusively to/from DTW, since it's DL's sole 747 base. ATL has a sole 747 flight, and while an aircraft typically sits on the ground for 22+ hours, it's incredibly rare for DL to deploy it.

Enjoy the ride! Now that they have been refurbished, way better than the 767s, and IMO slightly better than the 777s as well though it's pretty close.
