2017 The Year of the A350
Any idea when we'll begin to see the new A350s at Delta or what routes will be A350 routes? I'm so excited and can't wait to blow my Sky Miles on a Delta One Suite on the A350!

Probably starting in Sept., and definitely on some TPAC routes.

If they add a flight, think SEA-SIN, or SEA-BOM/BLR. The only fly in the ointment may be the current Trump immigration actions, which may put a brake on new routes... |

I am betting either SEA-HKG or (assuming they are not carrying too much cargo on it, so don't have a weight restriction) ATL-JNB.

Unless they are renewed...or extended.

The press info on the Suites looks meh. I think by using "Suites" branding, they are hoping to position against the likes of SQ and EK. I think the soft product will be a HUGE shortfall.
Funny how an airline runs away crying from ME carriers but tries to market their subpar product as anything akin to what those far superior carriers offer. :rolleyes: |
If they are delivered and go into service this year, they'll most likely start with service domestically to get crew familiar with operating the aircraft in the real world. Similar to what UA and AA have done when they first starting taking delivery of their 787s.
Could be a good way to fly on it without having to take such a long journey/time off work. |
DTW-NRT/ICN/PVG this year. Next year.....

Contemplating booking a SYD-LAX for January '18 in hopes that it gets the A350 by then, but I'm not optimistic. |

There's a thread on airliners.net speculating A350 routes and it contains much of the standard "DTW then wherever they feel like it". Would guess it will be the routes that currently require the 77L's as they go through the cabin mod. LAX-SYD, ATL-NRT,ATL-JNB, others I'm unaware of.

I hope you mean 2018 as for January 2017, you're going to have to leave PDQ and no 350's have been delivered yet! ;)

The only "negative" side if you are on an A350 in economy and want to use a Global upgrade, you will be upgrade from economy to premium select... (not to business)
I wish to try the new premium select on the A350, but use my global upgrade on other airplane. |
