Hey everyone, I've been following Delta Air Lines' fleet updates, and it looks like their Airbus A350-900s are making a splash on transpacific routes. With DL now operating these jets on routes like DTW-NRT (Detroit to Tokyo Narita) and ATL-ICN (Atlanta to Seoul Incheon), I'm curious about how these aircraft are performing compared to their older 777s and A330s.
The A350's fuel efficiency and passenger comfort seem like major advantages, especially with Delta's Delta One Suites and revamped Premium Select class. Has anyone flown on Delta's A350 across the Pacific? How does the experience compare to their other long-haul aircraft?
Also, with Delta retiring their 777 fleet, do you think the A350-900 could fully replace the 777 on these routes, or will there still be a need for larger aircraft like the A350-1000 or even the A380 (if Delta ever considered it)?
I'd love to hear thoughts from those who've experienced Delta's A350 first-hand, as well as opinions on whether it's effectively reshaping Delta's long-haul strategy. Looking forward to a lively discussion!
