DL 767-300ER Seat Question

We are flying Delta from Atlanta to Paris on a 767-300ER. My sister booked us in row 20, seats F and G. I think these are right by the lavatories. Is that correct? She thinks it's a galley area. It shows as an exit row with lots of leg room. I searchd around on Fodors but couldn't find any specific info. And it's unclear on the Delta and Seat Guru seating maps.

If you have flown on this type of plane recently and could let me know about these seats, I'd really appreciate it.

DL has more than one configurations for its 767-300ER. Can you tell which one on seatguru.com does it match to? Or, which flight on what date?

It will depend upon which version you are on. Look at the DL seatmap, if coach starts with row 15, then row 20 is next to the lavs. If coach starts with row 13, then all lavs are in the back of the plain and you are fine.

Personally, I would take row 20 for the row-13 plane, but would at least consider something else for the row-15 plane. On the row-15 plane, the seats also have limited recline, in addition to being by the lav.

On the row-15 plane, the wife and I usually take rows 17/18/19 C & E and hope that nobody takes the middle seat. So far, nobody has, except on one occasion, but they bumped us up to biz anyway. These seats seem to have a bit more legroom than much of the rest of the plane (it could be my imagination), and they are in a little mini-cabin that seems to get better service.

FWIW, I don't find the proximity to the lav to be a problem for 19 C & E, despite the warning on seatguru. Your back is to the wall of the lav, not the door, and most of the traffic is coming from behind you, so you don't have much of a problem with people congregating near your seat or anything.

Despite the lack of in-seat TVs, we find the DL 767-300s to be a pretty comfortable plane. Have a good trip.

It can be smelly sitting near the lav.

Thanks for the responses. The Delta seat map shows coach starting with row 15, so we'll be changing our seats! I sure don't want to sit next to the lavs.
