I'll give you two hints:
-I said I plan to be on it.
-I flew the equivalent of about 145k MQMs last year, but don't have status.

Let me know how it was. I just flew WBC to AMS and back recently and though I enjoyed the service.......... I couldn't stand the lie angle.

Got a schedule for next week?

Actually I just found some more info...

N801NW/Ship 3301

ATL-DTW DL117 Apr 16
DTW-AMS DL234 Apr 17
AMS-DTW DL235 Apr 18
---------
Still searching for more, but I'm not seeing it in the system after DL235 yet. It wasn't even showing for DL235 until a few hours ago, so it seems it's being put into the system close to day of departure...will keep looking.
---------
Also, while 3301 (N801NW) will not yet be WiFi-equipped, it is expected that when 3351 (N851NW, A332 Mod Prototype) returns to service, she will be WiFi equipped.
---------
Additionally, seat 9A on the modified A333s is a designated crew rest seat. If a fourth cockpit crew member is aboard, seat 8A will be blocked for crew rest as well. The modified A332s will have Bulk Cargo Crew Rest facilities and thus no blocked BE seat.

seperate question, this bodes fairly well for the one daily A330 flight from ATL to HNL. Lie flats to Hawaii, the only way to go to a semi paradise Island.

Ship 3301 will operate DL619 DTW-AMS on 4/18. It seems as though it is being loaded into the system at around midnight two days ahead of the day of departure, for now.

I wonder if thats why some of the flight schedules ex-NRT for intra-asia are screwy for a couple weeks... due to A330 mods taking some equip out of service. for example, NRT-GUM was using a 330 for the evening flight and morning return, but its 757 with odd schedule (6am GUM departure instead of 10:30am) for a couple weeks this month.

It looks like there's been some reshuffling of the Y row numbering on the EF seat map for the new configuration, so does that mean there is a minicabin of BE seats behind 2L?

Well, that answers my question. There really are 34 BE seats between 1L and 2L. Would be interesting for someone to compare the US A333 to the DL A333. I wonder how DL got more seats in there.
