    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.

    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)

    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!

    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
      @mjombasadu3826 10 месяцев назад

      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
      @josephaskins1996 10 месяцев назад +2

      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.
