My longest flight on Delta was from Minneapolis to Incheon, taking over 13 hours. That, I must say, is still my best economy class experience with a US carrier.

In a previous era, I tried several times to fly to the US and Caribbean from Cpt via JNB on the JNB-ATL service. The flight was always over $1800, about 50% more than SAA's JFK flight and the Delta website would always only ever offer me flights via Amsterdam. At least now with direct flights to my home city, Cpt, the direct Atlanta flight is appealing again.

The 777 fleet was 10 777-200LR and 8 777-200ER.

I flew alot with Delta airlines during my basic training in the army 48 yrs ago. The longest fight for me was Frankfurt Germany to Atlanta on board an L1011-500 March 21, 1981 from permanant station in Germany. I flew from atlanta to Philidelphia where I did basic at fort Dix N.J. L1011-1 atl philly philly atl. atl philly then mack flight from mcquire to Germany on stretch dc 8 Capitol airways.

Going to do Delta ATL- CPT in November . Both around 16 hrs. Should be interesting

It is not how long the flight is, it is how lucky you are, being on plane with a non stop crying child or a loud snoring person behind you on a overnight flight and also someone removing there shoes that smell like it was not washed for weeks. That will make a flight too long. Being on flight that is so enjoyable that make it feel too short (we are landing already,after 15 hours)

ATL to JNB on their Triple 7 in 2017! Great flight! Didn’t seem as long as it was!

2:55 look at that. That is why I love the a350. Such a beautiful aircraft

Being a loyal DL flyer, I flew DL LAX->SYD on their B777-200LR on a round the world itinerary, which included on the same itinerary JHB->ATL on B777-200LR. Sitting up front, both flights were marvelous and comfortable. I always enjoyed DL’s B777 flights! And not to mention the few times on JFK-NRT on their B744! They were a class act amongst US carriers pre-COVID!

Delta will have direct service to Auckland, New Zealand from Lax with no stops starting October 28th.

Love me some Delta!

A couple of Delta's 777-200LR's are now repainted and operated by Air India

Now you can add Auckland NZ to that list as well.

Flown once from Shanghai to Detroit. Such a good memory with the queen B744. So sad that Delta retires all of them even though A350 is great as well.

How comfortable and spacious are the seats and legroom for such long flights in economy class?

in 2014 I flew a Delta 777-200LR from Dubai to Atlanta. Because of 200mph+ head winds, the time in the air was 17:30...

I thought that ATL-HND would be longer than the DTW-PVG one. Guess I’m wrong.

MSP TO LHR is a crazy one tbh

My longest flight on Delta airlines was on Delta 200/201 Atlanta to Johannesburg and flew on their 777-200LR flew that route from 2011 to 2016 to bad Delta retired those aircrafts.

Flew DTW to HND and the reverse back in December and January, a little over 12 hours there, and a little under 12 on the way back. The flight back, however, was delayed because of the multi hour grounding of all flights within, into and out of the US. Luckily, my layover in DTW was 7 hours to begin with, so it didn't impact me as much as other passengers, but it made the day a lot more... interesting.

Question : how can you tell the difference between 777 -200 ER and LR ?

@mjombasadu3826

Жыл бұрын

B772 slightly shorter wingspan and tail height and different engine type B77L has a 64.8m wing, taller tail and 115B series engines Also the B77L is available in the cargo variant

@josephaskins1996

Жыл бұрын

The LR has raked wingtips, the ER does not, the problem is that the standard -200s exist, so it's more difficult to tell the -200 from its ER counterpart than the 200ER from the 200LR. That said the LR is also fairly rare compared to the 200ER.
