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.

Seriously, this is happening seemingly like every week. I ran into someone at NRT SC and fumed about same issue coming from a ATL->NRT. I think ops put the renovated 777 into scheduling while the plane wasn't ready... Even after I was notified about the change, I was still able to search fare on DL.com and see the glory of the flight being sold as a new 777 with PS and D1S...
Operational glitch is that a glitch, a seldom error. This seem very re-occurring and since DL is getting more money out of it, I am sure they are not in a hurry to fix the issue and just wait until T-72 or something to "notify" customers, when it's way too late to make alternative arrangements, so many people just take the hit because their work/travel schedule can't afford drastic changes.
I am not sure how any of you can defend DL in this situation.

Some more pics that I hope fellow users find useful. I actually did take one with the footwell.
Shoulder strap is detachable.
Footwell in 2b. 6'6 with size 13 sneakers.
Seat controls.
2 power ports along with usb ports.
Tasteful center partition.
Suite door fully closed. I couldn't actually open it back myself withoit fear of breaking it, so had to have flight attendant open it for me. Notice the secondary seat controls below the tray.

I just flew in 2B last night from ATL-LAX. I don't have any other seat to compare it to on the refurbished 777, but it had a huge footwell as it was a bulkhead seat as well. I'm 6'6 with a medium more athletic frame, with size 13 feet and had no trouble sleeping fully flat without bending my knees. The suite felt like a dream compared to the 764 I was just on in 3A from Madrid. It's also a huge improvement over the previous seating.

Thanks for the report and pictures, particularly of the footwell. We are scheduled for our first D1 Suites experience on ATL-JNB next year. I currently have us in seats 2B/C and was wondering whether bulkhead was a good choice on this aircraft. Looks like those are good options.

The only routes that are guaranteed as an Upgraded B777-200LR's are the following legs:
SYD-LAX-ATL-LAX-SYD.
Delta HAS been pretty good about the ATL-NRT-ATL legs consistently with the upgraded trip-7 aircraft up until about 2 weeks ago - which then becomes about 50-50 chance. Delta also has substituted the upgraded B777-200LR's on the ATL-PVG-ATL legs around 30% of the time which according to their "buy-a-flight" screens should NOT start until around the end of October 2019. The company only has 4 of the 10 77L's completed and appears to want to have all 10 completed by November 2019 somtime.
SYD-LAX-ATL-LAX-SYD.

Hmm...interesting. I wonder why they would fully close on one aircraft and not the other.

It appears that N701DN is on its way to SIN for the "4-class upgrade". It's ATL-NRT leg on 9-12 was flight DL9959, and according to flightradar24, it is to go to SIN (CAN is probably a mistake) and is to be flight DL9958. Might we suspect that DL will do 2 at a time?

I believe they did 2 at a time before the Summer break, so ya, I imagine they'd do the same now

Looking at PS seats 20A and B LAX-SYD. I like the bulkhead but am concerned with the proximity to the Lav. Has anyone sat in these seats? Am I going to have people constantly standing over me waiting in line for the Lav? Are there any other issues with these seats? Thanks!

I am assuming things may be behind schedule here for the LR fleet. I thought ATL-PVG was slated to get the mod in November but with 5 planes left to go, when will they actually complete this? Will multiple LRs be in mods at the same time sometime later this month?
