Best BusinessElite seats on 764 from LHR to DTW
Morning All,
New to the Delta board, but find myself about to book a couple of seats to DTW from LHR in a couple of weeks time.
As with all airlines I'm sure there's a couple of premium seats (4K on the BA 763 for example!) with a bit more privacy and stretching room for those of us well over 6 feet tall.
All help warmly received!
Thanks, OT

Window seats 3A 5A 7A all good
(9A typically blocked for Pilot)
2A 4A 6A not as private
Aisle seats are far worse than windows on this plane.
If you want two seats (you say a couple of seats - so two traveling) pick the aisle it doesn't matter which center pair you pick

On the return We'll aim for windows so we can sleep and ignore each other hopefully.
Thank you for your help!

Me again!
I've now joined Sky Miles and booked my trip LHR-DTW-LHR, flying on the DL19 and DL18 in BusinessElite. I've found this page which takes me through the mileage bonuses that I'll be eligible for but, what I can't find, is the actual number of miles this trip with earn me.
How does one ascertain this?

LHR-DTW is approx 3766 miles, so you'd get aporox 5649 MQM with the 150% J bonus.

Also, I use this tool to estimate DL mileage (IME, estimations have been pretty close). http://fly.qux.us/smcalc/
