Aircraft downgrade tonight - NO DeltaOne!
I fly UA but I thought I would experience DeltaOne SFO-JFK tonight #2521 but received a call just now that the aircraft was downgraded to a 757 with regular F seats. No full flat bed. My husband and I aren't now sitting together either. Disappointed is an understatement. We will each be given a $1000 voucher for the inconvenience.
I'd rather have the seat instead of the voucher. Not happy!

Mabye DL hasn't updated there system yet but someone on the 757 mod forum said that this same thing happend yesterday where a SFO-JFK scheduled 75S was downgraded to a 75P so hopefully this isn't the case.

Was originally supposed to be a 763ER, but was swapped with a 75S (tail N721TZ as noted above). So it is still a D1 aircraft with lie-flat's. I'd say you made out pretty well.

A $1000 voucher is roughly the same as the price difference between a D1 and F flight. I would not have accepted it and pushed for another routing, especially on a redeye.

It's pretty easy to tell if you are in a 75S or not. If it's got 16 seats up front, then it's a 75S with D1 lie-flat's. As noted above, it was a swap from a 763ER to 75S which are both D1 aircraft. Also, last minute downgrades happen from time-to-time due to operational reasons. It's not like they sell D1 with intentional plans to downgrade them.

EF is reflecting a 75P (W5P, actually), which is domestic F with 5 rows, but the EF seatmap is still showing 4 rows, like a D1 config.
D1 seems fairly sold out from LAX and SFO all day, and not much SEA flatbed avail either.
Also looks like 2265 SFO-ATL was downgauged from a 763 to a 752. There's a chance that this may open a plane back up for a TCON after all.
