    Default Plane Configurations/Routes

    Is there any way to find a list of which types of aircraft service each route? I want to fly first class on a 777. I know this is dorky, but I have the ability, so why not try? I just want a list of routes that utilize a 777 on DL so I can just go to ATL and pick based on which would actually get me a first class seat for that day (and that doesn't require a visa for the country), just go and possibly even just come back, depending on where it ends up going and how much time I have off.

    As you know, DL 777 doesn't have first class but there are many routes that utilize BE. If you're wanting to fly OAL I can guess you're SOL since our agreements don't allow first class with OALs (reciprocated)
    Would you be happy w/BE? I know plenty of those and once the 74s are gone (soon) you have more options on DL.

    Yeah, after I posted, I realized I actually meant BE. In my head, unless there is 3 class service, it's first and economy, even though I know better.

    A few months ago when I was at ATL, I saw a DL 777 heading for LAX. Not sure if they still have that flight. Also, it will probably be very difficult to get a seat up front as a nonrev.

    Yes it's FLT#2055 to LAX. Seen up to 68 Nonrevs on that flight and 30+ HK. Volume has gone down a bit so you might, on Tues/Wed..

    I figure I have a better chance with international upgrade wise, just wasn't sure which routes to check. I'm looking at atl-nrt-sin right now. I've always wanted to visit that airport anyway.

    browneyes-we've done JNB, NRT, and DXB from ATL all on 777. Yep, those are LONG flights. DXB might be of interest. China destination may be an issue w/out visa (nonrev is different from rev short stay). HKG from DTW was a delight; but now you have SEA/HKG. Are you just going to do a turn-around? I'm not sure if you can clear all of those airports w/out going to the departure desks. I know you can do it at SIN IF you have enough time.
