Delta from JFK or United from Newark?

Last month flew Delta out of JFK on a 767. I thought it was quite a come down over their usual A330 Europe flights so would avoid. Tighter legroom in coach (at least an inch, probably more). Flight was less than hall full so could actually lay across an unoccupied center section and sleep a little. Delta One seemed substandard on this Berlin flight also.

This is a Flyertalk.com question. They will direct you to the best planes and value.

What should I know about long term (3+ week) parking?

I would look into a one way rental car. Probably cheaper and not have to worry about what might happen to your car.

Polaris is a better product than Delta One particularly if Delta’s aircraft on your flight is any of the 767s. A330s are better.

EWR has not only airport-owned parking but also many private sector ones from which to choose. JFK might too; I just don’t know.

Tom, thanks for the link to flyer talk— I didn’t know about it!
Joe, the rental car is definitely worth investigating. Might not be affordable (especially for the return trip, as companies don’t like their cars languishing in the boondocks) but I love the idea of leaving our car at home in the garage!
The delta planes im seeing are 330s. But it’s a long way out and they could easily change planes so it’s good to know some of the delta flights aren’t as nice as Polaris.
Thanks everyone!

On international, non-stop flights to Europe out of Seattle I‘ve flown all of the Delta options: Delta One (lay flat seat), Delta Premium Select (similar to domestic 1st class with extra legroom, recline and seat width), Delta Comfort+ (extra leg room and recline) and Main Cabin. It’s been maybe 10 years since I last flew United internationally so nothing to add there.

Both my husband and I were lukewarm on Delta One. Everything was great except neither one of us found the lay flat seat comfortable enough to sleep. I don’t recall exactly which model of airplane we were on but it was a newer Airbus with the sliding door to our “suites”. It’s possible we were both just too excited to sleep flying 1st class to Paris after 2 years stuck at home. Or we’re both just super finicky sleepers? I certainly enjoyed the service and extra perks. I know that others swear by it, so it’s worth trying on the flight over. If I found a smoking deal, I might try it again.

Premium Select is our preference for price and just enough comfort. Since this seat class has been “discovered“ by more travelers, the current prices aren’t as good compared to last year. Comfort+ is good for the daytime return trip home. I have sworn off Main Cabin international and domestic on any airline.

We flew Delta One last year from Atlanta to Milan on a Boeing 767. I slept great (the Prosecco and melatonin, may have helped). My husband was comfortable but did not sleep; however he is an insomniac (truly, no sarcasm). We are flying JFK to Rome next month on premium select (Airbus A330). We looked at the premium seats last year and felt like they would be fine for us on future trips—husband is unlikely to sleep regardless, and I will probably be fine-if I am tired, I could sleep on bricks— will let you know in October.

The delta planes im seeing are 330s. But it’s a long way out and they could easily change planes

The 767 is rather a smaller plane so I can’t see that it would be swapped for an A330. You can check on flightaware for the plane type used every day for a week or more on any given route.
