Your correct, the 757-300 aircraft will be bumped to something like 230 seats. Pre departure day boarding will however be offered to those willing to pay extra!

Edit: 234 will be the new total on the 300

No doubt! This is however a fleet wide change not just the 757.

The improvements will include power at every seat, new slim-line seats with adjustable headrests, updated bathrooms, and more efficient galleys, or kitchens.

"We're continuing to make smart long-term investments in our products and services to meet the expectations of our customers," Glen Hauenstein, executive vice president and chief revenue officer, said in a press release. "In just six years, we will have made updates to interiors throughout Delta's fleet giving customers improved comfort and more options to work or relax and be entertained."

The Associated Press reports that the changes mean that the airline will be able to squeeze more seats into the planes.

It will be able to add 19 seats into its 757-200s, six more on its A319s, and 10 more on its A320s.

Slim-line seats with smaller, lighter-weight frames from front to back will take up less space. New galleys will also take up less space. Some of the 757s will have fewer Business Class seats to make room for more coach seats, the AP reports.

This latest project builds on changes Delta has made to other aircraft since 2010. All Delta international widebody aircraft will include full flat-bed seats with direct-aisle access in BusinessElite by mid-2014. All transcontinental flights will have full flat-bed seats in BusinessElite by the summer of 2015.

I have two pay back days I want to use. I would like to put them on a four day I have. The four day has 1:20 flying on the first day, nothing on the second, 5:30 on the third and 6:00 on the fourth. The total trip credit is almost 19. All the days have coverage and are blue. If I put the pb days on the last two days the trip I would get almost all credit minus first day. Is that correct. Thanks

All well and good, sailingfun, I just don't want a one hour connection in ATL from the back of one of those 753s even in the same concourse.

Quick question and I'm sure it's been covered, but have a trip starting this week on Thursday and it's been bought off for OE...when am I free of the trip? Do I still need to show up at the airport?

Denny, evidently the tribe has spoken and they plan to drink your September 15th check away.
