In the comments section

Delta has confirmed that they will be using different outbound and inbound aircraft.

- where are the slots coming from?

DL bought a slot pair from Alitalia to start the SEA service.

couldnt VS metal go to Seattle? now that ACCRA has been cancelled?

I don't think it is a simple as that. For a start, Delta owns the slots. Then there would have to be a whole lot of agreements signed and various landing rights sorted out - someone with better knowledge of contracts and aviation law would be able to explain better. In contrast, Delta already have a base in SEA and also fly from there transatlantically to Amsterdam and Paris and have bought the slots to start the LHR-SEA route

Oh I seeee
That's a shame. If I ever get to fly to SEA I reckon I will go via the dark side lol
I just don't like American Airlines in general. It's my prejudice I know. Just my perception of them. Slinky has put up a good case for them on another thread but....

And also the Accra slots are ill timed for a US West coast service.
