Interesting, I wish they did this on their transatlantic service. The B767-400 had the upgraded Business Class cabin. However, the Economy Class cabin was shabby, many video screens had their frames dislodged from their place and the seats were very old and showed it. Delta’s cabins are not consistent between their aircraft types even though the fare is the same for a flight operated by different types B767 and B777.
About time a premium city like BOM get flatbeds. Given BOM-AMS is intended for connections to key AMS strengths like the UK, Scandinavia, and North America this will help DL given the massive 1-stop competition.
