Type A - If it is 6 rows of F, it has regular aisle tv's
Type B - If it has 6.5 rows of F (on left side), it has seatback TV's
Type C - If it has 4 rows of F, it has armrest PTV's (int'l type)
I've been on the Type A 757 in F, and it was great. It had about 2.5 times the legroom in coach. Nice big comfy leather seat.
Check the seat map and you'll find out what type it is. Have a great flight!

757 First / Business Q
Just got an upgrade notice on ATL > LAS but its a 757. Travel companion is on a FF ticket but linked to my reservation. Two questions:
Are seats 1A/B the best options in F or does it really matter on this aircraft?
What the chances the gate agent will bump my travel companion up (right now F is very open) - wkd travel.
Thanks!

I'm flying from JFK to SFO this weekend aboard DL 129; I've read the various threads about the misnomers with "Business Class" on the 757. Though there are certainly at least 4 rows of FC seats, there is an additional half of a row (at least displayed as occupied but unlabeled on the left side). The unlabeled half of a row is what throws me off. In any case, if we go by just row numbers, it seems, then, there are only 4 rows of FC.
Though I'm not keen on "..."uming
, should I be excited about sitting in a BE seat (though with standard domestic FC service) this weekend? Thanks a lot, FT!

It's been about a year since DL reconfigured some of its 757s for international service and we've been getting them on domestic routes regularly as they maximize their aircraft utilisation.
I have one next week RT JFK-SLC-JFK and we have been getting them for 6 or 8 years from CO, who has by now reconfigured its entire fleet of 200s.

Im flying FLL-ATL-LAS in June on the 757. Both flights right now look like they have the 24 Seat Configuration in FC. I am currently in Seat 2B on both legs. Being 6 Foot and 6 inches tall, i wonder if legroom is sufficient if people recline into me? Should i rather switch to Row 1 while its still possible?
Thank you very much in advance,
cheers,
Frank.

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.

Bulkhead on the DL757 is bad. Leg room is very limited. You can put your feet on the wall which helps a little but it's still a bit cramped. The 737 seems to have a bit more bulkhead space.
