Flew DTW/PEK on Wednesday, which clocks in at 14:02, no pj's were in sight or offered, but, I asked a FA about them (like a good FT'er 
) , and she hunted a set down for me. She said she usually works European flights.
Sitting presently on DL128 with major delays due to runway construction while taxiing, out of PEK bound for SEA, this flight clocks in at 11:30, and the FAs made multiple runs up and down the aisles passing them out!

I mean, considering DTW-ICN clocks in at 13.5 hours with no PJs, seems unlikely, though I'm flying ICN-ATL June 27 so I'll report back

I did an analysis in another thread of SkyTeam TATL wine, and was actually pretty impressed at how good Delta's wine program actually is (at least from a value perspective): most TATL flights are catered with wine at roughly a $20/bottle retail price point, and some bottles on premium routes to LHR/CDG can be pushing $50/bottle. Almost all of Delta's choices have received an aggregate wine review score of ~88-90 points, as well, which is pretty credible for a volume catering wine.
I went into the analysis expecting to see Air France win, so I was surprised to see Delta actually spends a little more. The SkyTeam airline with terrible wine is KLM - they spend half what their partners do, and unfortunately you can really taste the difference.
I'd love to see how Delta's wine program compares to American's. I would actually expect AA to be slightly worse in business, since they have an F product they need to justify somehow, but having never flown them I can't comment directly. If someone can share a wine list or two from 2017, I can use the same methodology to compare...

Flying DTW-ICN today and ICN-ATL on 7-30-17.
I'll report back. Wouldn't wear them anyway as I will be comfortaby in shorts (nice ones not gym shorts) and a t-shirt.
Probably a gasp for some on my choice of clothing. :-)
