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 they might be finishing refits faster than anticipated. MSP-HND was scheduled to start on 11/16 with 777 suite service, but I'm seeing it start on 11/1 now. I'm on a HND-MSP flight in early November that has been a current style 777 since I booked, but today it was changed to a suite equipped version. Nice bonus if it sticks.

There has been almost no mention of ATL- JNB. Isn't this Delta's longest route? Anyone have any insight as to why it is looking like it may be getting suites later than sooner and when that will likely happen. I'm hoping things will go faster as more are completed and the refit crews gain experience. I'm headed to Jo'burg at the end of May and really don't like the current seats.

Yes, it's the longest route. That's mostly irrelevant. I think you should expect an unmodified plane unfortunately for your flight.

Thanks, that is what I thought. I'll keep checking back and keep my fingers crossed- hope springs eternal.

Just noticed the CDG-SEA-CDG was moved to 77L for a month, then to a 76E (767-300ER) until 2019-03-30, then to a 33H (A330-300HGW) post 2019-03-31. That leaves only the MSP-HND-MSP until it gets the HD (777-200ER) w/upgrade on or around 2018-Nov-01. Guess at that point - DL could send all remaining 777-200ERs to SIN for the conversion.

compared to QF to LAX/SFO/DFW-SYD, LAX-MEL on QF, UA SFO/LAX/IAH to SYD, AA to SYD etc etc. DL/VA have a lot of competition where Jo'berg just doesn't.
any airline is going to try to roll its best product to its most competitive route then it'll roll down hill to little/no competition
sucks if you do a lot of JNB trips but logical overall.

Delta was running 7004 between Orlando and Atlanta last Friday. It was DL 1058, the inbound for DL 1058 and when I deplaned I noticed it was doing another run to Orlando.
Having flown both the A350 and now this reconfig'd 777 in PS, it was interesting that they didn't redo the bins/lights/air nozzles. (why would they if they weren't broken but it quickly reminded me that, although the seats were new, the plane was still old in comparison to the A350.)

7005 did some test hops on the 17th, so should be wrapping up 7HD mods soon:

The first 7HD route is MSP-HND-MSP that begins Nov 1st 2018, based on scheduled times, 2 HDs will be needed for that daily route, which DL will have be then. The following 7HD route begins on Nov 13th and is MSP-CDG-MSP - which appears to need an additional converted 777 at that time - totaling 3. Delta still is not saying much on where the 1st 77L (7HB) converted (N706DN) will be used, maybe as last minute swap-in if any 359's or 7HDs have issues, unless the 77L is going to be used as the 3 out of MSP. Just speculating.
