Road Trips Are The Travel Choice Of 2020 & Why I Just Booked One – Miles to Memories

Delta Confirms It Is Retiring Its Boeing 777 Fleet This Year – Traveling for Miles
While other fleet retirements were unsurprising, this one came as a bit of a shock. Delta just finished refurbishing the interiors of their 777 fleet with their new business class suites and premium Select product. To pull the plug on the 777 is crazy. While I like the A350, I was glad Delta still had the 777. We flew one to Paris back in 2018. The 3-3-3 layout on the 777 is one of the reasons I would prefer them to other airlines flying the same aircraft.

Social distancing on a plane will be a tradeoff. Airlines can’t fly planes with a low load factor and turn a profit.

I would expect the airline to accommodate distancing, if possible, but I would not expect them to *not* sell all their seats. Although some airlines are trying this.
