Delta Airlines ATL - BRU from B767-300 to B767-200

What's even stranger is that we where assigned row 21 CDE, tough these rows are actually a lavatory.

21 CDE is indeed at the lavatory for the B767-300. For the 767-400 those seats are possible. Look at the seating plans.

Delta still have 6 B767s, but they are stored awaiting delivery to ABX Air.
N103DA is in Atlanta, N106DA, N112DL, N113DA, N114DL and N115DA are parked in Victorville.
The information was found on www.aerotransport.org .

I'm still curious what we will be flying Saturday. Delta says that we'll fly a 762...

We are still assigned seats 21 CDE and 16 CDE, but 21 doesn't exist on a 763 and 16 doesn't exist on a 764.

Once again: it is a B767-300 you will be flying, B762 refers to the former GF B767-300's. These A/C have 6 main floor level exits iso 4 like they use on the JFK service.

fokker_f27 · Post by **fokker_f27** » 19 Dec 2006, 17:24

The information says 767-200/200ER, not 762.

I can confirm this. Since the start of the winter schedule, ATL-BRU is mostly operated by the ex GF B763's (costumer code P6) registered N152DL till N156DL + the N1501P. No DL B762 was seen in BRU yet and none of them is operating any transatlantic schedule. Further, all the 762's should leave the fleet and be cvtd to freighters.

So you'll normally fly one of those B767's. The rest of the Delta B763 are -332(ER)'s, planes that were delivered to DL factory-new, and are designated as internal code "763" with Delta.

I agree it is a very confusing way of coding (and false decoding as a result) by DL, but please don't be stubborn when several dedicated people/enthusiasts/spotters offer to you the true situation...

Thanks a bundle, Robin, but if it's a 767-300, then we're seated in a row that doesn't exist...

I'll certainly say what they ship us in once the day has come, but the seats seem to be "confirmed".

Upon reservation they never confirm an exact seating location, just the fact that you will have a seat onboard that flight, the exact seats can still be changed upon check-in! Only the seat on your boarding card is actually your seat. Even though the reconfirmation letter sais that you'll have seats 14 ABC they could still move you to 15 DEF at check-in without you as a passenger having the right to complain as the airline still keeps it's promise that they will transport you on that flight to your destination.

To close this case, DL 125 was operated by N154DL today, a B767-3P6 (ex GF)

Hi everybody,

On the website of brussels airport I have seen that Delta will operate two daily flights between Brussels and Atlanta. Can anyone confirm this?

Merry christmas,

No, no one single flight a day. You have to look to the dates. The first one is going till 11.03.07 departing at 10.35h then there is a change from 12.03.07 the same flight is departing one hour earlier at BRU at 09.35h
Its just a matter of changing hours.

But I can understand your question. There is still a lot of work to do on the new Brussels Airport site.

@ Atlantis: Thanks for the reply!

Well, what did they ship you in?
