Inaugural DL JFK-PSA and back, with pix
Mrs. Gargoyle and I enjoyed the inaugural flight from New York to Pisa, Italy.
I've posted a full report of our trip in B/E, with lots of pix, on my site, and I'm including a couple photos here to peak your interest.
This is the first transatlantic direct scheduled service into Tuscany.

Fantastic report. Thanks for the info. I frequently cruise Europe on Royal Caribbean and haven't ever thought about them dispatching a ship from PSA. I think it could be an interesting idea (and good business for DL).
Any idea what the cargo loads would be like?

I have agree with you. That was terrific trip reports from Gargoyle! Please keep it up writing more entire trip reports. I'm glad you are enjoyable the inaugural DL flight from JFK-PSA last week. I'm sure you can see all of those information the ancient history in Italy from long time ago.

Very detailed indeed Gargoyle! It's great to see DL expanding to more and more transatlantic destinations untouched by other US carriers. You're totally right about their RJ operation at gate 23...it IS an embarrassment to Delta and it's JFK operation. Hopefully ORD will upgraded to at least an E170 as opposed to a CRJ. BE looks great...sounds like it's going no place but uphill from here!!^
