Back To The Roots - Delta One to Shanghai on the 767

11 February 2017 - 05:46 AM

Synopsis: Non-revving on international flights can be a bit of a pain, but luckily, my family was able to snag some empty Delta One seats.  Granted, they were all in the center section, but business class (or a seat for that matter) is always better than nothing.
This was only my second time on international business class, and I haven't rode on Delta's 767s since 2014.  I was excited to fly on this aircraft again, and I wanted to compare this flight to my HKG-SEA flight on an A330.

Conclusion: Other than the crap entertainment solution, I had a thoroughly enjoyable flight.  The seat was good, the food was great, and the service was what I'd expect from Delta.  It's certainly a nice way to fly.


Delta First Class from Las Vegas to Seattle

27 January 2017 - 09:32 PM

Synopsis: Delta's LAS-SEA flight is one I'm starting to get used to, that first Boeing 717 flight before connecting to other destinations.  In this case, I was flying with my family to mainland China, and SeaTac happens to be one of Delta's trans-Pacific gateways.
On December 17th, 2016, Delta was operating their first LAS-SEA flight of the day with a refurbished Boeing 737-800 with AVOD, a nice upgrade over the 717s they usually use.  Plus, the flight was only half full and the first class cabin nearly empty, which is great news for a non-rev like me.

Conclusion: Overall, I had a pleasant flight.  Sure, it was pretty uneventful as I'd come to expect, but the in-flight entertainment was certainly a nice perk.  Now the question is whether we can actually make a flight into China...
