    Just noticed that delta seemed to have replaced the 767-300 on the route at the moment with a 757! Hope they've switched back to the time I fly next month. Anyone know why this is? Thought this would be the busy period and need a 767

    I don't know why but they have been using this plane for months now. I flew from Orlando to JFK to Dublin last october on a Delta 757. So if they have been using it this long i'd say chances are you'll be on one.

    I think it depends on the day as tomorrows JFK flight is scheduled to be a B767 & Saturdays was a B767 on the JFK route.

    was hoping it would be a 767, seat map is listed as such for Jul25th but we'll wait and see. On continentals 757 back so was hoping for the full run of a 767, 757, 737 and a CR100

    Continental has been a 757 for the last 2 years straight, with the odd 762

    all Delta SNN services now 752

    Was it uncomfortable? In comparison to wide-body craft...

    Not really but I had three seats to myself so it might not have been the worst trip. :p

    The 757 is one of my favourite aircraft, but in the config is operated across the pond its just horrible!! Plus it does not fly through bad weather the best- Sitting at the very back during turbulence is like being on a see-saw!

    I'm over 6ft so always want to wander around a bit and stand somewhere vacant for 10 mins every now and then. Plenty of room for this on 747, 777, 767 or A380 but jesus the one time I flew long haul on a 757 i was very unhappy. Just nowhere to go really, they're just like a streched 737 as regards space.

    just back from america, had a 757 from SNN to JFK -space wasnt best but I wasnt too bothered as I was out of Ireland for a while! But on my way back on Friday the bloody yoke had to have been the most uncomfortable thing I have ever been on! plus the fact that the flights were delayed in SNN outbound for over 2 hours when everyone was onboard, missed connecting flight, then on way back stuck onboard for over 1/2 hour cos no1 was available to open doors-WTF! and to top it all off the flight was once again delayed on the way back with everyone onboard from 9.20 to about 11.20 then told we needed to switch planes which in the end we departed JFK at 1 in the morning to Ireland. Oh well, lucky I dont fly much!;)
