Quick summary

Although the actual inaugural flight of Delta's Airbus A330-900neo had been slated for July 15, the carrier's first revenue flight on the jet came earlier than expected. It departed Wednesday for Shanghai, and the jet is now officially in service for Delta. I'll be aboard for the festivities next week, but in the interim Delta has published a gallery of photos showcasing its latest jet.

The aircraft is the first Delta widebody to feature the new wireless IFE system developed by Delta Flight Products, the airline's wholly owned cabin interior subsidiary. It is equipped with high-speed Gogo 2Ku internet connectivity and passengers will have access to free mobile messaging while on board through iMessage, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.

Initially, the A339 will operate from Seattle to Shanghai, Seoul-Incheon and Tokyo-Narita, so you'll need to fly to Delta's hub in the Pacific Northwest to catch a ride.
