My upgrade cleared for PDX-SEA at the window and it's on an E175 which are 1-2 in FC. I have my pick of 1A, 1C, and 1D.

Normally I'd take the solo seat, no questions asked. But the right hand side of the plane for PDX-SEA has gorgeous mountain views for the entire flight. I cannot decide on 1A or 1D

all the 757 and 767 options shown on the Delta app under "Delta's Fleet" angers me. a person new to Delta would still think that they are still flying 75M, 75N, etc.

A new person to DL would have no idea what those are.

Those west coast flights are some of the few that I prefer window over aisle. During the summer, if a two stopper through PDX or LAX is a similar price, I always take the two stopper just for the views. I had an agent comment on my routing one day, "Taking the scenic route I see." I really had booked that routing just for the scenery.

Looks like the much-reviled domestic 767s with 30F 2-2-2 are running ATL-SFO in October I'll be in F on OPM so I guess I can't really complain, but I will anyway SDC FTW!

I also like the almonds, but it would be nice to have BOTH almonds and peanuts.

Yeah. Weird aftertaste that makes me think the non-citrus type of furniture cleaner.

I can't stand how they lay down linens before your first beverage is served inflight....seems so rushed to me.

You are being too kind. I have never tried to eat a handful of sawdust, but that was what I imagined when I was trying to swallow them. I went through an entire glass of wine halfway through the bag trying to get enough moisture in them to be able to swallow them.

Weird, I didn't mind them at all. Maybe I was too hungry and/or drunk to care.

I still miss the PMNWA pretzels that were absolutely loaded with artificial butter flavoring.
