As someone who rarely pays for F and for most passengers who never fly F, I think it's fair to say that it is a better plane for the majority of passengers. I do recall the tight bins, but I've never had an issue fitting what I need into them, so it wasn't a big deal.

I'll take a 763 before a 739 any day.

The overhead bins are the absolute worst. I hate being a gate lice, but this is the one plane where it's absolutely mandatory to be standing in line right when they call PREM/SKY if you want your bag anywhere near you.

Awful overheads, but very nice Y. Just flew one of these ATL - SFO - ATL.

A funny story about how bad F is on these planes.

I was flying LAS-JFK on a red-eye (I think) a year or two ago. I was #1 on the upgrade list when we boarded. The person who guy the last upgrade flat-out declined it -- he was very tall and had a bulkhead sit in coach, which he said was more comfortable than the seat he was given in first. He was angry that they considered the seat an upgrade.

I ended up getting the seat. One of the few times I've been in F on these planes. It was only marginally better than a good coach seat. If the person in the row in front of you reclines, it is awfully tight.

I love how Delta only flies 3 domestic 767s today and yet this thread has 3 pages of comments.

I remember flying in coach on one in 2013 DTW-LAX. After years of flying on mostly regional jets, the fact that a large plane like this was even a thing was memorable. That flight was one reason I started using sites like SeatGuru and started reading up on forums like this one.

My first adult flight on a jet was also a 767 MCO-IND on ATA. Nostalgia!

739 is really bad unless you are in F.


Oh yah. I did the same on the redeye. I was the 5th or 6th to board and in Seat 4A. My bag had to go above row 2 because Row 3/4 had multiple people seated. The bit literally holds 1 bag per two rows basically.

Are you sure it wasn't an L-1011 or DC-10? I don't recall ATA having 767's.

What about via LAX?

DCA-LAX is no longer upgrade eligible since it is now a D1 flight :(

Sorry. I was thinking you were talking only about the HNL flight, with ATL/MSP-HNL not being upgradeable.

Yeah I guess I am greedy for wanting the entire trip to be upgradable, and even more greedy for wanting an upgrade to a Lie Flat with a 330 back non SLC-HNL......of course its possible none of my upgrades go through and I am in the back all the way lol

Unfortunately, the last 2 domestic 767s are going to be sticking with us through the summer.

Lovely. These 767's are the epitome example of "some of the best real estate on the planet"

Are these clunkers out of the fleet yet?

I'm worried that I have some ATL-ANC flying to do this summer in F, and the 763 domestic seat map is showing up.

Assuming there's no other plane available, seems like a decent route choice for a bad plane (long, not business heavy, kinda neglected, etc.) but ill have to switch to connecting flights if the domestic 763 is operating it. Nearly 3500 miles is FAR to much for those bad F seats.

Still two flying, N140LL and N1402A. They are not, in fact, Delta's oldest 767-300ERs.
