Reasonable mileage prices available for D1 Suites
If anyone has been looking to redeem SkyMiles for the A350, note that I’m seeing the DTW-AMS route (on the A350 frequencies) available for 86,000 miles one way in Delta One around Thanksgiving on off-peak days, at least as part of a NYC-AMS routing —not sure if other origin points will offer the same since award pricing is on an O&D basis these days. Not a steal but not terrible considering 70K is the cheapest on that route these days and 85K is the standard for partners.
Might be available on other dates too, I didn’t explore extensively. On the dates I booked around Thanksgiving the price seemed to be readily available — I booked two seats and the flights I booked still showed more inventory at the same price (without even an “x seats left at this price” warning).

Hi All,
Just flew DTW-NRT on the A350 in Delta One.
Some initial impressions:
- WOW! Having travelled in J extensively, this was easily the most spacious business class seat I have travelled in. 2A has more space, storage, and privacy than British Airways First Class.
- Try to book 2A or 2D if you can, the footwell is huge, and the seats are still a good distance back from the galley and bathrooms. I’m 6 foot 2 so this is a huge plus.
- The doors seemed a bit gimmicky at first, but in fully flat mode, it makes for a really peaceful oasis.
- TV screen is huge and great selection
- Heavily advertised fast WiFi didn’t work. According to the FAs, this is a known problem with the A350s
- Service and food service has been very good, flight attendants seem proud of the aircraft.
I'm 6'4" and I can't lay flat on the 330's without bending my knees to sleep.
Hoping for more (longer) leg room.
Thanks for any info.

In 2A & 2D you will have more than enough room. I'm 6'2 and had enough to spare. Can't speak for the other seats, assume its the same pitch but less width at the feet.

Having now flown in both 3A and 4A, there was no noticeable difference in seat width. I felt like I had plenty of space in both seats. But 3A felt a little more secluded because a was further away from the aisle. As for room in the foot well, I had no issues but then again, I'm only 170 cms (5'7") so I fit pretty much anywhere.

This must be a Delta decision, though, because Finnair has the tail cam on the A350. I wish Delta would spring for the camera. It would make sitting away from the window a much better experience (and I feel frustrated -- or like a jerk for opening my shade -- when we fly over Greenland or other interesting location and everyone has the shades down on westbound flights).

I'm pretty certain the cameras are a standard features of the aircraft (for operational use); the issue is that DL - as well as other legacy US carriers - chooses not to share the feed with its IFE systems. Allegedly, AA's cockpit cams yielded numerous lawsuits until they were deactivated in the late 1980s and therefore the US industry has rejected cams due to our legal environment.

N506DN finally enters service today, flying from DTW>ICN, having been delivered on December 22nd last year! The next deliveries of N507DN and N508DN are scheduled to happen this month, and presumably will be in service in late March, as ATL>ICN starts on March 24th, and DTW>AMS starts on March 31st (DL132/133 only).
Edit: N504DN is operating DTW>ICN today. N506DN will enter service tomorrow operating DTW>ICN as of now!
