ATL-LAX via 330?
I am looking at flights from ATL to LAX in February and see DL 193 is scheduled on a A330, and that the A330 is the current equipment being used.
I'm interested in booking up front knowing it isn't Delta One, just looking for the lie flat experience for my travel partner and I. Can anyone shed some insight on how likely this will still be an A330 come February versus having DL change the metal?
Thanks in advance.

I don’t know much about this specific flight but I have flown 777 with lay flats Atl-Lax. The flight was continuing onto China. Assuming this flight is doing the same thing it probably unlikely to change. They need the 330 in Lax.
flightaware shows it has been a 330 daily.

Flew the 777 ATL-LAX that was going on to SYD so pretty safe that they need the 330 in LA.
Fun fact, flying in "D1" on that flight and my seat broke maybe an hour before the flight landed (cable snapped fully) so I guess whoever had that seat LAX-SYD should be happy it broke on the short flight

Wow, a 777 D1 seat broke! No way!
Surely after only 10 years of wear and tear, those seats can handle another 10! 
I was on that exact flight about a year ago and the remote shattered into a gazillion pieces in my hand. There was a volume button in my salad. Glad to see that they FINALLY got around to refurbing!
