Delta 777-200ER/LR Conversions to 7HD & 7HB. Pre-mods config is 37J/36W/218Y. For all the ERs and the first LR, post-mods config was initially 28J/48W/220Y (7HD/7HB). The post-mods config for all ERs and LRs is now 28J/48W/90Y+/122Y (7CD/7CB).

Modifications are taking place at SIN and the entry and exit dates are based on SIN time (GMT + 8 hrs). Comfort + installation was done at ATL on all the 7HD>7CD conversions, and on 7106 (7HB>7CB). The remaining 9 LRs had the C + cabins installed at SIN.

Looks like it was in MSP Feb 6-17. That's generally long enough to get the C+ mods. Will check with sources.

Nevermind, have received info that it was there for tow equipment damage repair.

7004 has been in C+ mods since 2/17 (per a.net thread).
7104 should go to SIN tomorrow for mods (after an interesting post-charter routing) https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N704DK

Just booked an award flight for the wife and I down to Sydney in September. Was able to select C+ seats on both legs.

Hopefully lav traffic wont be too bad here in Row 40

All the Comfort + mods are being done at ATL, thus all the frames currently at SIN and the remaining 77Ls to follow, will all have to go to ATL and be re-configured there. I'm surprised that SIN couldn't have done this, as it's just a matter of moving a few rows of the Y cabin to create Comfort +, but I guess DL wanted to do this at ATL.

Is there published pitch numbers on International C+ vs Domestic?

U.S. carriers have been obligated to provide info on seat width and pitch by Federal regulation for more than 15 years.

SIN can certainly do it, but the timing for the 77Es didn't line up with the STC completion. Most of the 77Ls will not need a post-SIN visit to ATL to get PS.

N706DN is back in service all ready, IF the C+ change was done, that's mighty fast, or ???

It didn't. I got a PM with the pertinent info not long after my post.

I booked a PS flight ATL-CDG in May. Are all the 777's flying to Europe reconfigured? That would be a brutal equipment swap.
Sorry in advance haven't read all the posts on this 26 page thread.

How about checking out the wikipost at the top of this thread? Basically, the 777-200ER fleet is done, and the 777-200LR fleet is just starting.

Was on a mobile and didn't see a wiki post. Sorry to have ruined your day.

This is somewhat strange...it looks like N704DK is returning to ATL on Saturday. Is this an error on FR24 or for real?

DL72 / ATL-AMS operates a 7CD MOD (changing from an A330) starting on May 5th. From what I see, that aircraft is only in the schedule until June 15th when they switch back to an unmodified 777L. Wondering why it will only run the route for those 6 weeks and not just continue on for the rest of the summer.

Booked that flight at the end of June and would really love to experience the D1S instead of the older BC seats. Any chance they will continue a MOD from the 16th of June on, in the next major schedule change?

Insights are appreciated!
