PDX-NRT or SEA-NRT?????
What are the pro's and cons to NRT from either PDX or SEA in Delta One.
The PDX route is on 767 300
The SEA route is on A330-300
Thx for your input.

PDX is often cheaper as a connection. In D1, the A330 is better than the 767 seats.

Agreed. But, I would not personally pay more to stay on the 330. I'm quite happy on the 767 - but do prefer the 330! Shop price on that. Schedules are usually very similar.

Another A330 vote if all things are equal but the 767 is not a bad ride.
But I would not fly out of my way to go to SEA and I wouldn't pay extra for the ticket.

D1 is better on the A330. Economy is pretty similar on both aircraft. Be warned that DL sometimes switches out the A330 for a 777 at the last minute, which has a worse D1 than the 767 or A330 but a better economy section that either the A330 or 767. Seeing you are based in ANC, SEA will be a tad faster if the connection times are the same.

I disagree. I'll certainly pick the 777 over the 767 in D1.
In coach, the 767 has the advantage of 2-3-2 seating so that few people get center seats.
