Sorry, but what #2 door? The regular DL 763ERs have the main boarding door up front and then the overwing exits. Are you talking about the ex-GF 763ERs (which have a larger Y cabin starting from row 13/14)?

Please take a look at the seatmap for the reconfigured 767-300 ER, it was created based on information found on this and other threads:

http://www.seatexpert.com/_DL_767_300_Intl.html .

I tried very hard to depict the actual window (and missing ones) locations, and would appreciate hearing about any errors and omissions.

Sorry, I had a momentary brain lapse - I did mean, of course, the exit doors. No, it was not a Gulf aircraft.

Josh, glad you were able to switch. Take a look when you fly and see if you agree with me.

Jet2K - thanks for the new seatmaps on your excellent site. I would just reiterate what I mentioned above - 18A/B & F/G need to be yellow flagged as well for reduced leg room.

So are all the A/B and F/G seats squished or just the row 18 seats?
Thanks,
SR

Just row 18. Again, this is just my personal perception backed up by the F/A confirming that others had made the same comments. I did not actually measure the pitch of row 18 against the other rows (forgot my tape measure ), but I have spent enough time in crappy DL economy seats to know that these were WAY closer than usual .

Figured I'd let you guys know.

I'm on flight 59 on the 23rd and in row 18.

I liked 16G actually as there was no window there and much easier to sleep in.

Is this still the case where 16G has no window? I found it quite claustrophobic when I sat there as I like to look out the window. Hope 17G is better, I cant remember what was behind me.

Seatguru states that in row 18 the middle seats, CDE, have a few more inches of leg room - is that still the case? Thanks in advance!

I flew ATL-SVO a couple of weeks ago and I had 18C for just this reason. I can't confirm it scientifically but I felt that I did have a bit more legroom than normal in row 18. However I usually like the extra room in the window dimple for my shoulder so I was missing my window seat. Wish I could say for certain but the perception for me was maybe an inch and a half or 2 inches more space than normal. Someone needs to measure though to make sure its not just a perception.

I recently flew BCN-JFK in 18C and there is definitely 2-3 more inches of room. I eyeballed it by looking at where the tray was relative to the end of the armrest. In 18B, the tray overlaps the armrest, while in 18C there were a few inches between tray and armrest.

Did the proximity of the lavatory bother you at all? Is it right behind it?

Thanks!

15G has no window at all. 16G has one window that you have to lean forward to look out of, and 17G has two windows.

Is there at least a sliver of a window to look out of from 15G? Is there any more leg room at 15G? Im trying to decide between 15G and 17G.

I suggest 17. The bulkhead legroom is not very good. Don't remember the window configuration, but I have sat in Row 17 before and don't recall a problem.
