Delta 757-200 Comfort Plus Trip Report | Non-Winglets 757

I have a few flights on the wingletless 757 under my belt: - 2004: ATL-SJU with Delta - 2005: BOS-CTL with US Airways (followed by CTL-SJU on an a330-300 that climbed all the way to FL410 to go above what would later become Hurricane Katrina) - 2005: SJU-PHL-BOS with US Airways - A few BOS-SJU and back between 2006 and 2008 with American. It took me until this year to fly the 757 with winglets for the first time during a flight from MIA to ATL with Delta. Been flying too much JetBlue domestically to see anything other than A320/A321, but these recent flights made me realize how much I missed Delta.

Wow, that’s an impressive backlog right there! I only have two wingletless 757 under my belt but I’m looking forward for more! Delta at least has given me the chance to fly again on aircraft’s that are getting retired at a fast pace on other airlines. And yes, jetBlue is at another level, I do too fly jetBlue a lot 😂

No difference inside, only 2 winglets different outside... I still can understand how excited you felt to be able to fly on this aircraft. I have flown on the same A321s before and after they were equipped with winglets. It's just not the same :)

I understand the cabin commonality thing. But in general, the excitement behind these 757s without winglets is because of their rarity, especially in the US and in pax service in general. These are in the bucket lists of many because Delta is the only one in the US who kept a handful of 757s in their original form. And just a few of them weren’t even Delta’s. And because these don’t have a specific cabin code to distinct them, they’re just 75Ds, getting to fly on it is more of a lottery and being lucky.
