Ok... I have flown the 767-300 series to Europe and also the newly configured 767-400. The new 400 series is NICE! On the seat guru it says that they are in the process of upgrading the first class cabin to have On Demand video at each seat instead of the dismal entertainment they have now and also to AC power instead of EM power. Does anyone know if they have finished this upgrade or not in the first class cabin?

Thanks so much!

Delta 764

Currently, about 60-70% of the 767-300ERs have the new Panasonic eFX AVOD IFE in BusinessElite. Barely any of them were upgraded over the summer as they were in heavy use. The remaining ones will be done over the winter.

For the international 767-400ERs, there are currently eight in this configuration. Five more will be converted over the winter for the 2008 summer season, and the eight remaining ones will be converted for the 2009 summer season. In addition to PTVs in BusinessElite, the international 767-400ERs also feature the system in Economy.

I have heard that on the new BusinessElite sleeper suites that will be featured on the 777-200LRs, the screens will be larger than what is currently offered. The system is the Panasonic eX2 system, which features greater storage capacity over the eFX.

Can someone tell me if the 767-300ER (ex Gulf Air I believe) that runs the ATL-DUB-SNN-ATL route is upgraded? does it have true BE or is it dom FC?
thanks

ClipperDelta

ATL-DUB-SNN-ATL has true BE. All the ex-Gulf 763s have true BE seats; however not too many of them have been reconfigured yet (i.e., new leather seats, AVOD PTVs in BE).

thanks ClipperDelta - how do you find all this stuff?????

RamAir

Usually the non-new BE seatsed 763s show up on JFK-MAN too.

Does anyone have any info the the 767-300ER that's on the DL 114 ATL - BCN route or the DL 115 BCN - ATL route? We'll be flying next Sat to BCN. It's a full plane - bummer!!!
We have seats in row 18 but my strategy of booking C & E didn't work - there's now someone in D on both out flights. Hope they like middle seats.

Thanks.

ATL-DUB-SNN-ATL is (thankfully) no more. DUB has direct service from ATL and JFK with BE. SNN has domestic plane fitted with FC seats but sold as all-coach - JFK only now (no ATL service outside summer peak)

Does anyone know whether the CPH-ATL route is getting the refitted planes yet? They usually fly an ex-Gulf 767-300ER. Just wondering of our chances for our early-December trip.

They (CPH-ALT) still fly the Gulf there but yesterdays flgith back was a refirb as they had a delayed equip going to CPH the day before. They say they are nice, haven't seen one myself yet.

DMIrishFlyer

so the ATL-DUB goes direct every day now? Excellent, no SNN stopover.

So now I have another question, I was checking JFK to SNN for next summer and the metal is a 757 but it shows a strange cabin configuration with no BE??? and rows 1 thru 6 show only 4 seats available with E and F not showing at all - crew rest maybe? but 12 seats would be a lot for crew rest wouldn't it?

JFK-SNN is a "new" longer-range 757 model - ex-AA-ex-TWA. The seat layout is available on SeatGuru in the AA section. The front cabin is FC but sold as Y. Delta plan to replace those seats with BE seats sometime in the future, but I'd really question the demand for BE to SNN.
