American vs Delta 777 coach seats

[short 215]

Traditionally Delta seats sucked but now they have some new 777s. Has anyone ridden both AA and Delta 777s coach seats that can compare them. Are the Delta seats more like AA or Asian 777 coach seats which tend to be a little small and unsupportive.

Well, as I pointed out over at that "other site" if you buy a ticket on Delta for a trip to BKK you will end up on Korean Air for the longest part of the trip or, perhaps, China Air or EVA Air for the return. Delta has used "codeshare" arrangements for almost all flights to the Orient, since 9/11.

 

The only exception would be if you were to fly out of Delta's hub in Atlanta where they have one flight, but not every day, directly to Seoul (ICN) on one of their own 777-200s. The connecting flight to BKK would be on Korean Air.

 

As they take delivery of more 777-200LRs, 2 out of an order for 8 have been delivered so far, that may change. If the merger with NWA is approved they will, most likely, have more international flights on their own equipment.

Is is the Delta 777 out of Atlanta directly to ICN that I am asking about. How do the seats (support wise) on that plane compare to seats on AA's 777s
