Excellent quality, man! Really enjoyed this.
-
is in seat 27A , because i was on that seat when i was flying from LIM-ATL-LGA
LIM-ATL was about 6hr and 16 minutes with a 3 hour delay due to the weather in Atlanta. :(

in what seat you where?

LAX - ATL is the best domestic route!

@BobWeaver112 There is an everyday 777-200LR flight, Delta 16 usually, that flies from LAX-ATL. This is after it's come over the pacific from SYD. It makes sense for them to put passengers on the flight, more revenue. Also, LF numbers are pretty high, 777-200LR leaving on 12/13 is ~98% booked. It's probably all of these factors, the 777 is a very capable aircraft and Delta exemplifies that.

@scaremenga While the gate argument is possible, if Delta sees the need to drop a 777 on an ATL-LAX segment because bookings are strong and additional revenue could be realized and an aircraft is available, then I'm fairly confident that they would do it. A 777 on a route like that could very well mean an increase in demand.

i like the 300 version better

@boeing7372 A 767-332 can be filled at 90% load factor on most ATL-LAX flights. Putting a 777-200 is not because their is demand, but rather a way that DL can increase fleet utilisation. It makes no sense to put a 777-232ER on LAX-ATL, but it makes less sense to have one sitting at ATL wasting gate or ramp space. Wasting gate space means that's one less flight that could have brought in paying passengers.

Apologies, yes LAX is not a DL hub, it is a focus city. Nevertheless, I meant that they probably have quite a bit of feed on the route and that may be part of the reason they put a 777-200 on the route, or of course it may be just because the A/c is needed in ATL.
A 767 400 is really good plane.

@boeing7372 LAX is not a hub for Delta, but rather a focus city. Delta uses the 777-200LR on the LAX-SYD route.
