Video: Delta Airlines First Class Cabin - Boeing 757

This is a short video I took of the first class cabin while awaiting departure from New Orleans to Atlanta.  The airplane is a Delta Airlines Boeing 757-200 Transcontinental edition with PTV's (Personal TV's, which is Delta's name for IFE) and the flight flew from New Orleans Louis Armstrong International to Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International.  It also sported the Susan G. Komen livary.  I was lucky to get the video before everyone was able to board.  It was a full flight, but still a good one.  Pre-departure drinks were served followed by more drinks and snacks from the Snack Basket after departure.

Delta Fights for "Next Gateway to China"

As travel between the United States and China becomes more and more imperative, the amount of flights between the nations have not risen to meet the demand. Delta Airlines, being the third largest carrier in the United States, wishes to add another route to ease the jam. The planned route would be a daily nonstop from Atlanta Hartfield International Airport (ATL) to the Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG). Delta would plan to use one of their Boeing 777's for the flight. This service to China would be the first to exist in the Southeast USA. Delta believes that this will not only have a substantial economic impact on the airline itself, but the entire Southeast. The average yearly revenue airlines make on China flights is about 100 million dollars, and this number is expected to go nowhere but up. This, in my opinion, will fill the large void in air service to China and link millions more to the intriguing nation.
