These are used for BOG, SJO, and the forthcoming UIO/GYE flights, though they do occasionally make some domestic appearances as well. I believe these are the 757s acquired from ATA some time ago and are the only ETOPS-possible 757s in DL's fleet.

Delta 757 - Business class but no First?
I was checking seats for Delta 36 on 9/15 on Ben Edleman's site, and the first class window came up blank. After checking Delta.com, it appears that this particular 757 has Business Class but no First Class. Never noticed this before. Is this an odd 757, or does Delta change these up? Any other differences between this 757 and the "standard" Coach/First configured 757?
Thanks.
Thanks.

IIRC, DL equipped a few 757s with a qusai business class for South American Ops. The seats are somewhat like what AA uses on the 763 in that they are controlled manually and look somewhat similar. However, they do not have the pitch that AA offers on their 763s.
IMHO they are a pretty comfortable way to travel aboard a DL 757.

If you're on a domestic segment of a flight that continues on to Mexico or another nearby int'l destination, the F cabin is called business because that's how it's coded due to the int'l leg of the flight. So, if this is the case, it's just regular F, no special seats or service. However, I've only seen this on planes smaller than the 757, so the post above may be correct for your case.

This is an odd quirk that goes beyond the 757.
I'm on DL 36 tomorrow from ORD to CVG 738 service that is sold as Business class.
The 'real' DL 36 continues on from CVG to LGW. On Delta.com it shows as a 762...which is a whole other can of worms since it actually operates as a 763!

We need a class action deal to stop this direct flight same flight number madness. THIS IS DELIBERATELY MISLEADING THE CUSTOMER. And it's not just Delta either.
When you are SCHEDULED to get off a plane, it is NOT a direct flight no matter what bull.... the airlines feed you about the flight numbers. Also don't forget, you don't get the two mileages for them either. I barely stomach the unschedule change of planes and the appearances of a nonstop flight when it really isn't but this scheduled stuff is silly.

Using different equipment for each leg is two spearate flights. Period.

Yes, they do have that. I was on SLC-JFK Sunday and it was a BC. I wasn't expecting anything special, but it was just normal FC seating, continuing on to Irland somewhere.

I'm on DL101 LAX-ATL in a couple of hours. It shows as being on a 767, in D business class, then connecting on to a different flight ATL-BCN also in D business class. Does this mean my domestic flight will be in an international-configured 767, or is it just an anomaly of they way the flight is booked? Interesting that I cannot get the flight to show up on ExpertFlyer at all.

It was indeed, with about 38" pitch. Just fine for a domestic flight. The something with scalloped potatoes, that smelled like pee, was not however.
