Delta 767-300ER Seat Map & Best Seats (2026)
Updated October 2026 · Checked row by row against our seat maps
Delta flies the Boeing 767-300ER in two layouts, and they are different aircraft from the passenger’s point of view. The 76K has 216 seats and is the only one with Premium Select. The 76L has 211 seats, no Premium Select and ten more Delta One beds. Same cabin products, different row numbers: a seat number that is a good pick on one can be a lavatory-side seat, or not exist at all, on the other.
The trap is the one you pay extra for. On the 76K, the front row of Delta Comfort, row 30, is a bulkhead only about 20 inches from the wall, with the tray and screen in the armrest and no floor storage. The row behind it, 31A and 31G, measures about 35 inches and has two windows. In Premium Select, 22A and 22F have no usable window at all.
Delta has said it will take the 767-300ER off long-haul international flying around 2028 and retire the type by 2030. Both layouts were still being scheduled in autumn 2026.

Version lottery: Yes. Check the seat map: rows 20–22 in a 2-2-2 block means 76K; economy starting at row 16 means 76L.
Best seats: Delta One 3A, 3D, 5A, 5D (both; plus 7A/7D on 76L) · Premium Select 21A, 21F · Delta Comfort 31A, 31G (76K) or 18A, 18G (76L) · Main Cabin windows 45A/G, 50A/G (76K) or 32A/G, 37A/G (76L)

76K vs 76L at a Glance
| 76K | 76L | |
|---|---|---|
| Total seats | 216 | 211 |
| Delta One | 26 seats, rows 1–7 (row 7 is 7B and 7C only) | 36 seats, rows 1–9 (every row has A, B, C and D) |
| Premium Select | 18 seats, rows 20–22, 2-2-2 | None |
| Delta Comfort | 21 seats, rows 30–32 | 32 seats, rows 16–21 |
| Main Cabin | Rows 33–55 | Rows 22–42 |
| Overwing exit rows | 33 and 34 (A, B, F, G only) | 20 and 21 (A, B, F, G only) |
| Last row | 55 (C, D, E only) | 42 (C, D, E only) |
| Seats with no window | 22A, 22F | None |
Both layouts share one floor plan behind the business cabin: two overwing exit rows with a pair of lavatories filling their centre seats, and a last row of three centre seats with lavatories either side. On the 76K that block sits in the Main Cabin, behind Delta Comfort. On the 76L it sits inside Delta Comfort.
How to Tell Which Version You’re On
- Premium Select rows 20–22 in a 2-2-2 block between Delta One and economy → 76K.
- Delta One running to row 9, then economy starting at row 16 with only C, D and E in row 16 → 76L.
- Seat 7A or 7D on sale → 76L. On the 76K, row 7 has only 7B and 7C.
- Rows numbered into the 50s → 76K (last row 55). The 76L ends at row 42.
The seat map in the Delta app or on delta.com shows the layout as soon as seats open. Delta can swap aircraft close to departure, so if you picked a seat by number, look at the map again in the last day or two before you fly.
Delta One
Both layouts use the same seat: a staggered 1-2-1 flat bed (the Thompson Vantage family), lettered A | B C | D, so every seat has direct aisle access. It is not a reverse herringbone — the seats face straight forward and the stagger shifts them from row to row.
- Odd rows (1, 3, 5, and 7 and 9 on the 76L): A and D sit right against the window with the aisle further away. These are the private window seats.
- Even rows (2, 4, 6, and 8 on the 76L): A and D sit inboard, nearer the aisle. Still a window seat, but more exposed to passing traffic.
- Centre seats B and C sit side by side in every row. The pair shifts sideways from one row to the next but is never split, so any B + C works for two people travelling together.
Rows 3, 4 and 5 (and row 7 on the 76L) have two windows at the A and D seats; rows 1, 2 and 6 (and 8 on the 76L) have one. That is why the odd rows in the middle of the cabin are the picks: they combine the window-side position with the better view.
Best Seats — Delta One
| Variant | Seats | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Both | 3A, 3D, 5A, 5D | Set against the window, two windows each |
| 76L only | 7A, 7D | Same position and view; these seats do not exist on the 76K |
| Both | 3B + 3C, 5B + 5C | Centre pair side by side, away from the forward lavatories |
| 76K | 7B, 7C | Last row, centre pair only, with no window seats beside it |
Seats to Think Twice About — Delta One
| Variant | Seats | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 76K | 6A, 6D | Near a bassinet position behind; inboard window position |
| 76L | 9A, 9D | Near a bassinet position behind. 9D does have one of the best-aligned windows in the cabin |
| Both | Row 1 | Closest to the two Delta One lavatories and the galley, which sit ahead of row 1 |
| Both | 2A, 2D, 4A, 4D, 6A, 6D (and 8A, 8D on 76L) | Even-row window seats, inboard by the aisle |
Premium Select (76K only)
Premium Select is rows 20–22, a 2-2-2 cabin lettered A B | C D | E F. Twelve of its 18 seats reach an aisle directly; the window seats A and F share with B and E. The seat is a recliner with a leg rest, about 38in pitch and 19in wide.
Best Seats — Premium Select
| Seats | Why |
|---|---|
| 21A, 21F | The window seats to book: two windows beside each, behind the bulkhead and ahead of the windowless row |
| 21C + 21D, 22C + 22D | Centre pairs: each seat has its own aisle, and you sit together |
| 21B, 21E | Aisle seats away from the bulkhead |
Seats to Avoid — Premium Select
| Seats | Why |
|---|---|
| 22A, 22F | No usable window: the glass sits well behind the seat |
| Row 20 | Bulkhead: extra legroom but no floor storage for take-off and landing. 20A and 20F are bassinet positions, so families may be given priority. 20B and 20E have a little extra foot room at the side |
| 22B, 22E | Fine seats in themselves, but a pair at 22A + 22B or 22E + 22F gets no window |
Delta Comfort
Delta Comfort is extra-legroom economy in the same 2-3-2 seat, sold as 34in pitch with 7in of recline against 32in and 4in behind it. It sits in a different place on each layout, and that decides which rows are worth paying for.
76K Delta Comfort — rows 30–32
- Row 30 is the bulkhead and the trap: only about 20in to the wall, tray and screen in the armrest (a narrower seat), no floor storage. 30A and 30G also look out over the wing.
- Row 31 is the best Delta Comfort row: about 35in at A, B, F and G, two windows at 31A and 31G. 31C–31E back straight onto the mid-cabin lavatories, and 31B and 31F get some queue traffic.
- Row 32: 32B–32F sit immediately ahead of the lavatories; 32A and 32G get queue traffic.
76L Delta Comfort — rows 16–21
- Row 16 is three centre seats only, C, D and E, with about 29in to the wall ahead — generous, but no floor storage, the tray is in the armrest and 16C and 16E sit beside bassinet positions. 16D has open floor ahead, so you can get out without climbing over anyone.
- Row 17: A, B, F and G are the bulkhead (about 27–28in to the wall, no floor storage). 17A and 17G are bassinet positions and their window sits behind the seat. 17C, 17D and 17E sit behind row 16 at about 37in; 17D is the cleanest of them.
- Row 18: 18A and 18G are the Delta Comfort picks — about 37in and two windows. 18C–18E back onto the mid-cabin lavatories.
- Row 19: about 37in, but 19B–19F back onto the lavatories and 19A and 19G get queue traffic.
- Rows 20 and 21 are the overwing exit rows, A, B, F and G only, with extra legroom. The lavatories fill the centre, so 20B, 20F, 21B and 21F sit right beside them; the window seats get queue traffic.
Delta Comfort Picks and Seats to Avoid
| Variant | Book | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| 76K | 31A, 31G | Row 30 (cramped bulkhead); 31C–31E and 32B–32F (lavatory directly behind) |
| 76L | 18A, 18G; 17D for an aisle-free centre seat | 18C–18E, 19B–19F (lavatory behind); 20B, 20F, 21B, 21F (beside the lavatories) |
Main Cabin
A 2-3-2 layout at about 32in pitch: no middle seat in the window pairs, and only one true middle seat (D) in the centre block. On both layouts the windows from the front of economy back to about the trailing edge of the wing look down onto it.
76K Main Cabin — rows 33–55
- Rows 33 and 34 are the overwing exit rows, A, B, F and G only, with extra legroom. 33A, 33G, 34A and 34G are the best legroom in standard economy if you meet the exit-row rules; expect lavatory traffic, and 34A/34G have two windows. 33B, 33F, 34B and 34F sit right beside the lavatory doors.
- Row 35: 35C–35E are the bulkhead behind the lavatories (35D is a bassinet position), and 35B–35F all sit next to them.
- Best windows: 45A, 45G, 50A, 50G, behind the wing and well lined up with the glass. Skip 37A/G, 42A/G and 54A/G, where the window is set behind the seat.
- At the back: rows 53 and 54 back onto the rear lavatories, and row 55 is three centre seats with a lavatory either side.
76L Main Cabin — rows 22–42
- Behind the lavatories: 22B and 22F sit right beside them; 24C–24E are the bulkhead behind them (24D is a bassinet position). The centre seats in rows 22–26 are numbered out of step with the window seats, so check the seat map rather than assuming a straight row.
- Best windows: 32A, 32G, 37A, 37G, behind the wing. Skip 24A/G, 29A/G and 41A/G, where the window is set behind the seat.
- At the back: rows 40 and 41 back onto the rear lavatories, and row 42 is three centre seats with a lavatory either side.
Main Cabin seats to avoid
- 76K: 33B, 33F, 34B, 34F, 35B–35F (beside the mid-cabin lavatories); rows 53–55 (rear lavatories)
- 76L: 22B, 22F, 24C–24E (beside the mid-cabin lavatories); rows 40–42 (rear lavatories)
- Both: windows set behind the seat — 76K 37, 42, 54; 76L 24, 29, 41 (A and G)

If your seat map shows a Delta 767-300ER with a seat count other than 216 or 211, it is not one of the two layouts in this guide; treat the row numbers here as a guide only and check each seat on the map.
FAQs
How do I know which 767-300ER layout I’ll get?
Open the seat map in the Delta app or on delta.com. A 2-2-2 Premium Select cabin in rows 20–22 means the 76K. No Premium Select, Delta One to row 9 and economy starting at row 16 means the 76L.
Is the 76K better than the 76L?
For most travellers, yes, because it has Premium Select. The 76L has 36 Delta One beds against 26, and more Delta Comfort seats (32 against 21), with about 37in in rows 17–19. Economy is close to identical: the same seat, pitch and 2-3-2 layout, with the lavatory block in a different place.
What’s wrong with 22A and 22F in Premium Select?
They have no usable window — the glass sits well behind the seat. Take 21A or 21F instead.
Is the first row of Delta Comfort worth it?
Not on the 76K. Row 30 is a bulkhead about 20in from the wall, with the tray in the armrest and nowhere to keep a bag at your feet. Row 31 has more room. On the 76L the bulkhead rows (16 and the A, B, F and G seats of row 17) are roomier at about 27–29in, but still have no floor storage.
Which Delta One seats are best for couples?
Any B + C pair. The two centre seats sit side by side in every row and both have their own aisle. 3B + 3C and 5B + 5C keep you away from the forward lavatories.
Is Delta One a reverse herringbone on this aircraft?
No. It is a staggered 1-2-1: the seats face forward and alternate between a window-side and an aisle-side position from row to row. Every seat still has direct aisle access.
Will Delta put new Delta One Suites on the 767-300ER?
Delta has not announced a retrofit, and the type is due to leave long-haul international flying around 2028 and the fleet by 2030. Newer long-haul flying is moving to the A330-900 and A350.
