has anyone used Air France/Delta?

[karentan]

so it looks like we're going indirect this time.
i've found a good deal on airline network, technically booking with Air France, but flying with Delta (think its a codeshare, which is wierd as if i book with Delta, its more expensive!!)
we'd be flying Gatwick to Atlanta, stopover for 4 hours (we need to do immigration in Atlanta don't we?), then flying from Atlanta to Orlando.

apparently the Gatwick to Atlanta portion is on a 333 plane, not sure what/how big this is, has anyone flown on one? (we're not as bothered about the other plane as we're only on there for an hour and a half).

has anyone flown Delta before? i normally fly with BA or virgin, but this is working out quite a bit cheaper.
is there anything (good or bad) you think i need to know about them? i know you have to pay for booze on the plane which isnt a particular problem, but whats the food like?

Hi Karen
We are flying Air France/Delta from Manchester to Orlando with a 4 hour stop in Atlanta. It's the first time on a in-direct flight so i'm looking for similar info to you, I have been advised that you clear immagration at your first US stop and that on the way back you hand over the luggage at Orlando and get it back in UK.

Yep you clear immigration at your first point of entry to the US and you also pick up and then drop off your luggage.. I haven't done a change in Atlanta but at Newark it was really straightforward and well sign-posted and there were plenty of staff around to help, with 4 hours to change you'll be fine i'm sure
I haven't flown on that plane but I think this is the right chart on seatguru, it says US airways but is the only plane described as 333:
