A350 Advice
Hello all,
Very excited to get to use miles to upgrade reasonably to the new Delta One Suites for ATL-ICN this week and ICN - ATL next week. Any advice to maximize the experience? Also, any special lounge access when I come back Delta One from ICN?
Also, any particular meals that are REALLY good or should not be missed?
Lastly, does the WIFI work all the way from ATL-ICN or just over the US?
Thanks,
Adam

A350 will have 2Ku Wifi by Gogo. See the image below from gogo's website (https://www.gogoair.com/commercial/i...t-systems/2ku/) for current coverage. As long as the transponder on the plane is working, you will have coverage for almost the entire trip, depending on the exact route your plane ends up flying.

Please report back on whether the window seats located next to the window or next to the suite door are better. They're staggered and alternate from one row to the next, like the 767 D1 seats, according to the seat map. [At the moment, I'll be trying both versions on an A350 RT in a couple months, door outbound and window on the return.]

I prefer the odd numbered window seats . They seem the most private and furthest from the aisle . Note that the middle duo seats do not have individual air nozzles or overhead bins - only the side solo seats have them . The Korean meal can be requested and reserved from the special meals list . I found the Korean meal very appetizing and quite filling . Enjoy ! The A350 is a great ride .

Just to be clear, there's plenty of overhead space on the sides for every business class passenger. Every J passenger could each bring 2 rollaboards and it would all fit fine

I was going by a photo and it seemed to show the video screen on the outside for row 1. Good to know since I prefer row 1.

I would avoid row 1. Lav door/light is opposite these two seats. Seemed to be annoying to me with all the foot traffic and door opening and closing (when I was going to the lav)
As an aside, do people feel the middle seats get too warm? I have only sat by the window, but have an upcoming trip with spouse and want to know if sitting in middle gets too warm.
