Delta Air Lines is enhancing its holiday service by adding a Boeing 767-300ER on the Atlanta to San Diego route. Starting November 10, this change will increase capacity for travelers flying between Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) and San Diego International Airport (SAN). The upgraded aircraft will operate until March of next year, marking the return of widebody jets on this route for the first time in two years.
Increased Capacity for Delta Air Lines Flights
The Boeing 767-300ER will add over 20 seats compared to the smaller planes previously used. Delta will run daily flights with this aircraft until December 3. After a brief pause, Delta Air Lines service will resume on December 19, just in time for the peak holiday season. From January 6, 2025, Delta flights DL712 and DL762 will have adjusted departure and arrival times.
Delta Air Lines Flight Details
Delta Air Lines’ westbound flight DL447 leaves Atlanta at 16:35 and arrives in San Diego at 18:15. Flight DL762 departs San Diego at 07:20 and lands back in Atlanta at 14:30. In November, Delta’s 767-300ER will operate 41 flights, including 21 to San Diego and 20 returning to Atlanta.
Aircraft Configuration and Passenger Comfort
The Boeing 767-300ER features Delta’s “76K” configuration, offering 216 seats across three classes. Delta One includes 26 lie-flat seats in a 1-2-1 layout, ensuring a luxurious experience. Delta Premium Select has 18 seats in a 2-2 arrangement for extra comfort. The main cabin offers 172 seats in a 2-3-2 setup. Delta Comfort+ provides additional legroom for added convenience. All cabins have features that enhance passenger comfort on Delta Air Lines flights, such as in-seat power, WiFi, USB charging, and personal entertainment screens.
Competition and Route Alternatives
In November, the Airbus A321 will be the only other aircraft on this route, operating 172 flights in each direction. It accommodates 191 passengers. Delta will face competition from Alaska Airlines and Southwest Airlines. However, Southwest is expected to end its service early next year, which could benefit Delta Air Lines.
