Thanks for this. I've been trying to make time to fly the Delta 75 from Tampa to ATL to visit the Delta Flight Museum at ATL airport and combine flying what in my opinion is one of the most classic Boeing aircraft ever built with a visit to the Delta Flight Museum and do a little plane spotting from my hotel room balcony as well. You are correct we should all try to take at least one last ride on the 757 before they are retired. Same holds true for the 767 Delta and United still operation. Thanks again !!
I flew on a 757-200 from JFK to Lisbon a few years ago in Delta Comfort+ and it was amazing. I’m 6’6 and I had plenty of legroom for the 7hr flight. Delta will always be my favorite! Great video!!
Always interesting to see a 757 TR, as they've only ever really operated in the Americas. I sure know where I am when I see them. This looked like a pleasant hour long flight out of the lovely MSY new terminal. But you're right about the cost of getting there - downtown to the airport a couple of years ago cost the family and I $58!
Not my favorite for economy, but definitely for Delta first class. Delta's 739s are a horror show in any class. Cramped, LOUD, toilets a normal human can barely fit into. They have to be great money makers, but I'd go out of my way to avoid one. Oh, 30 year old jet, no winglets. Probably going to be put out to pasture relatively soon, so it doesn't pay to add on winglets.
Delta will continue to use them in this decade due to the lack of a middle plane in the market and modern planes (Boeing today) are not as reliable as the classic 757

Really goes to show how great the 757 still is.
Great trip report!! The 757 is my favorite airplane to ride as a passenger and is a great airplane. I will take a 757 any day.

Great vid - love the 757. Hard to believe I flew out of MSY back in 1990 on an EASTERN Airlines 757!!!

This Plane N676 blew a tire

The 757-200 is nice in Comfort plus or First class. In basic economy it’s outdated, cramped, and extremely claustrophobic.

I'm very sorry, but WHY does everyone doing these reviews need to show us their HAND when discussing the legroom on their plane?
