Delta happens to have 18 777s: 10 777-200ERs and 8 777-200LRs. Given the typical stage length of those aircraft today it would be surprising if they are not retrofitted. Whether the NYT means 777 or 787 (deliveries postponed to 2020) is less than clear.
Added: Delta's press release is explicit. 777s get the suite refurb. http://news.delta.com/delta-introduc...elta-one-suite As for Longboater's comments on 339s, the first delivery date (2019) is far enough into the future that no decision on cabin fitment needs to be made, let alone announced. As for 332s, would anyone care to do a frequency-adjusted average stage length based on a week's schedule? |

Odd factual error? Says there are only two classes on DL...what about comfort +?
IS DELTA NOW OFFERING FOUR CABINS OF SERVICE? No. Delta offers a variety of flight experiences tailored to meet your needs. Our Delta One / First Class and Main Cabin are Delta's primary cabins of service. Delta Comfort+, Main Cabin, and Basic Economy are three experiences within our Main Cabin. You are confusing separate fare class with actual class of service. |
Pictures look good and much better than I had initially expected. I'm excited.

You don't have to worry about that flight much longer anyway.
Any guesses as to what TPAC rt the 350's will start on? HND HKG SIN PEK NRT |
Must burn SkyMiles before the inevitable price increase after this debuts...

The various 747 routes ex-DTW would be first, I'd imagine. I could also see SEA-HKG, and maybe DL will consider starting SEA-SIN.
Delta wants point-to-point US-APAC instead of via NRT. |

genius! hope it can survive - 32 suites beats BA's 32 seats
(EK does have a charter jet with 10 suites and a few seats) |

Sure looks like it. TBH I'm more interested in the XL than the door. More space in the seat is great... the door is a novelty. It doesn't really provide privacy, since anyone walking by can easily look into your seat. I guess it makes it harder for the people sitting near you to see what movie you're watching.

Do wonder what flights they are thinking for this being that NRT flights are being cx'd. Inaugural flight possibly SEA - HKG or even LAX - HND?
I'm excited for this, but not overtly so. |

I'm excited for this, but not overtly so. I imagine DL's plan is after replacing 747s with the A350, the rest of them would go to replacing A330s on TPAC routes, which would then be moved to TATL service to replace many of the 767s currently doing TATL service. Since the A330s have quite new D1 seats, this would constitute a product upgrade on those routes as well over the "coffin" seats on the 76. As the 777s are also getting this new product, I doubt they get moved around too much. Perhaps some of the 777s currently doing Ex-NRT routes would again be moved onto current 747 routes freeing up A350s and A330s for lower demand routes. |
