I'd like to try that sometime. I just flew a Delta 767-300 from Anchorage to Atlanta and didn't care for it. Slightly less space than the A321 economy seat to get from Atlanta to Boston. I enjoyed the Hawaiian A330 more from Boston to Honolulu, but that plane was 1/3 full. That helped a ton on that 11.5 hour flight over the 6.5 hour red-eye. I seem to always much prefer Airbus planes to Boeing. Althought, the Recaro designed seats on the Alaska 737 from Honolulu to Anchorage were very well designed. Gives a bit more knee room than the typical seat. Still hate the width of 737 seats, tho.

I absolutely love the 764! I love that Delta decided to keep them and also refurbish them too! The 767 looks so much better in the extended length

In terms of boarding/deplane, I have actually found it to be much faster on widebodies than on narrowbodies, despite having more people. Flew DL's former 777 (before they were renovated) from LAX to ATL 2 days before Christmas and I was in the 3rd to last row on an oversold flight. I probably got off the plane faster than most 737/A321/757 flights when I've been in the back. Splitting people across 2 aisles really does help, even if there's only 1 jet bridge.

Just flew Delta home to LAX from Bermuda. To Bermuda I flew Air Canada. The difference in product presentation was night & day. Aside from the excellent agents at check in, everything about Delta was abysmal at best. Cranky f/a's poorly groomed, dingy tattered interiors, ect. I was shocked because Delta used to be the benchmark. Having said this, I work for Amtrak & we don't have the best service either.

I've flew on Delta 767 300 back in 2008, I'm surprised that they don't use reverse thrust after landing on their 767 300.

The 767-400 is the only wide body I’ve flown, and quite a nice one at that. If you sit farther towards the front, the 767 isn’t that loud. It’s a great airplane to fly with its 2-3-2 configuration, and United and Delta offer decent products on the -400 variant in all classes.

Thanks, Scott. Another solid report. I'd always choose the 767 over the 737 for two main reasons. Firstly because it's more spacious. I'm not a claustrophobe, but after 30+ years of solid flying I feel increasingly that the 737 is cramped compared to the a320 and of course, widebodies (no I'm not fat. I'm as skinny as you are). Secondly, I think the 767 will be the next aircraft type to start making an exit from the industry, following in the footsteps of the 747 and a340. With that probable trend in mind, I'm appreciating those 767 flights even more now.
