Business Class Seats on DL 767-300 (Face forward? Yes, all do.)

Does anyone know if all the business class seats on a Delta 767-300 face forward (for example flight #154 BOS-DUB on 8/11 returning on #155 DUB-BOS on 8/21).

I tried Seatguru but I am only coming up with the MSP-BOS segment of flight (on an A321).

(Please move to the appropriate thread.)

Yes they all face forward. DL does not have any backward-facing seats on any aircraft.
You can easily access the seat maps for the 767-300 on SeatGuru, you don't need to enter the flight number.

Thanks. I wasn't sure which 767-300 it was and whether which 767-300 it was matters for the seats.

The pioneer with lay flat seats was BA. Their initial config had some seats facing forward and adjacent seats facing rear. Made it nice for F2F conversation with a friend or spouse.

No, I wanted to make sure I didn't get a seat that faced backwards if at all possible. I find I don't travel well backwards.

Well, if you haven’t done it before on a plane, you may find it’s not an issue like it might be on a train. You can’t really even tell when you’re in the air.
And since planes cruise at a slight nose-up attitude, when laying fully flat, you’ll have your head slightly elevated, vs flying forward when you’re nearly upside down.
Try it - you might like it!

On our RTW trip with 8 airlines, I had to be careful to avoid those stupid insane terrible awful foolish rear facing seats.

As far as I know, Delta has NEVER had any of those.
