Re: Last time you flew on a tri-/quad-jet
I've never been on a tri-jet Last quad: BA A380-800 SFO-LHR June 2023 (my second time on this route). I flew on the upper deck, which was nice because of the 2x3x2 seating in Y (although the armrests didn't fully raise up between the seats - only to about 45 degrees).

Does anyone think DL will bother responding to the MSP and ATL routes, or is LNK too close to OMA for them to bother? If they thought they could make money on them, I could see 2x ATL and 2x MSP on CR7/9s (if they have slack in those fleets).
