More Aircraft Type Changes - MSP/AMS
Just saw that my ride home from AMS on 9/30 (DL163) has changed from A333 to 764. Looks like the change affects the DL163/164 flights beginning on 9/16. The other pairs still showing A333.

So is the A330 still on the early or late departure, for those who don't have flight numbers memorized?

I wonder if this has anything to do with MSP-HNL this winter switching to a 764 as well. That was quite a surprise, given the 764 is one of Delta's most premium heavy birds and they're putting it on a totally leisure route.

We're doing that route 12/21 - 1/5. Our reservation shows 764, but the seat map shows 76Z Version 1. If you do a booking and check aircraft type, it shows 763 also with the 76Z seat map.

Did the switch happen recently? Looking at delta.com it's still showing a 767-300. I was surprised at how cheap the tickets are for that flight. I would have thought DL could charge a super premium price on that route.

I was looking two weeks ago. So recentlyish. But it's possible the above poster is correct and it's labeled 764, but it's actually 76Z.
