Tried a dummy booking for the first week in June, showing "sold out" in both Delta Comfort and Economy, however the seat plan only shows some seats taken (ok some people may not have selected), interestingly the last 4 rows are blanked out as taken. Four of the front cabin showing as taken. I wonder if they might be changing variants, as they have 3 different layouts used on International services, ex-TWA, ex-Shanghai, and ex NW. We have previously been on ex-TW, but the other 2 variants are used more on secondary leisure routes. Front cabin in all variants have 20 seats, so can remain on sale, the differences are the splits between Comfort and Economy on the 3 variants. Let's see how it looks in a few weeks.

With those figures in, our rolling 12 months is showing as 6.93m, down from 9.67m the previous year. Still the UK number 9, although the gap with Bristol has narrowed to 190k.

Presently GLA not showing as a Delta destination, only EDI in this country. Tried booking 2021 dates and everything from GLA was routing via AMS. Think it’s another dropped route for the foreseeable...

While that's true, it says only one seat left in both cabins on that date and the following two days show as sold out. So either a) in the middle of a pandemic the service is incredibly popular or b) for some reason they have not released all seats or fare classes.

(As an aside, could a moderator please remove the errant apostrophe from this thread's title?)
