It's an MD-88. Your entertainment is the crying child across the aisle.

And likely delays on the runway at Newark and Atlanta!

Food is snack basket in First Class. In coach, I believe there is buy-on-board snacks.
No IFE.
Honestly, don't expect too much these days on any domestic flight and you won't be disappointed.

Check-in and Security
As a present, I have given my wife a First Class ticket (while I fly in Coach with our daughter).
Is there a First Class Check-In at EWR and/or ATL?
Is there a First Class Security Line at EWR (I'm AA-PLT, so I know that I can use the Elite Security Line at ATL).
This is the first time we've flown DL in years (unfortunately AA cancelled their LGA-ATL flights). Any suggestions on seats (I've already read SeatGuru, but trust the FT community even more). We will be on either a 737-800 or 757 on EWR-ATL and a 757 or MD-88 on ATL-EWR.
Many thanks

In EWR, I don't think there is a dedicated FC line. There are only a few (maybe 3?) security scanners and a handful of gates between check-in and the DL/NW gates. So, even at peak times, I don't think I've ever waited more than 15 minutes.

757 vs 737
There is First Class check-in at both EWR and ATL. In ATL, you can use the FC/Elite Security Line. They're not very strict. Use the new security lines at the end of the South Terminal hallway.

I will be take a 737-700 in June. What can I expect from this bird? I know it has live tv, and wifi. Does anyone on here have a photo of the cabin? Leather/Slimline seats? On the way home from ATL to EWR it is on a 737-800 What is DL's current standpoint of how many of these have the new live tv system? If it does not have the personal tv's what can I expect? Any interior photos of the 738? An A319 is also an option, is it better than DL's 737 family? Thanks!
