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

Terminal 1, gate 46. The gate area was completely overrun with passengers, and the jet bridge wasn't high enough (required a movable step for passengers to enter the 772 2L boarding door), but they made it work.

The same gate was used later on the same day for the A332 from/to DTW.

Oh that's interesting. I was expecting that these flights would be at the Terminal A gates in the international terminal, but looks like they made it work in T1. Any pics?! haha. Would you happen to know if T2 support aircrafts the size of the 777? Maybe when the terminal connector from T1-T2 is finished, these aircraft could board there in the future.

DL 1108 ATL-MSP for 12/20 is showing MD-90 on ITA and MD-88 on DELTA website. Has anything changed?

If the equipment did change, NOTE to mods: please update the WIKI. Thanks!

If it's the domestic 767, its FC cabin is the worst in the DL fleet.

Your point? It's still a widebody and also, I'd say it's a better F cabin than the 319 and the 320, for what that's worth.

I went ahead and added a Saturday only service from JFK-SLC-JFK in the wiki. The aircraft appears to be the 26-seat version of the flat-bed 767-300's

It leaves JFK at 7AM EDT getting into SLC around 10AM MDT. Then turns around by 11:30AM MDT and gets into JFK around 5:50PM EDT.

I also added a one-time 767-400 service from DTW-JFK-ATL. Thanks.

And here I always thought the CR200's had the worst FC cabin in the DL fleet

Going through the schedule, there appears to be a 36-seat BE cabin 767-300 for a one-time SLC-ATL on Sunday, February 22nd. The flight number is 8785 and it leaves around Noon.

It is the domestic but I find the 717 FC cabin to be the worst. Pitch seemed very cramped.

BTW, I was quite disappointed with the service. There was no meal being mid-afternoon but the enhanced snack basket was brought around *once* on a slightly 2+hr flight. *Once*. And only one offer of drinks.

I've had the snack basket brought around twice on 50-55min flights from MCO-ATL and three times (once in a while) on ATL-RIC (about 1:10 in the air)

Going through the schedule some more, there appears to be a BE cabin 767-300 for a one-time JFK-PHX-JFK on Sunday, February 1st returning the 2nd for the Superbowl. The flight number is 8788/2137; it arrives in Phoenix at 11:12AM and leaves that night (next morning) at 12:45AM post the game.

This is what the call button is for, despite people on FT who think it's rude to use it. Or get up from your seat, walk to the galley, and help yourself to the snack basket. I'd also say to get your own drink refill, but you're really not supposed to do this for alcohol.

Doing ATL-HNL in Dec - unfortunately it looks like they revert back to the A330-300 by then =(
