American Trans Air is said to have a Tristar or two which is fitted with all-first-class (but not VIP) interior of eightysomething seats (have seen 84 and 88 mentioned) and flown on Around the World cruises.
Can anyone give more specifics? Which Tristar model? What is the range? What exactly is the seatmap? What are their routes and schedules?

I like the early architectural drawing on the wall for the once proposed trans atlantic road bridge…:diablo:

N193AT c/n 193C-1071 was delivered new to Delta. When ATA bought the aircraft, they used it for RTW flights. In 1989, the plane was leased to Aer Lingus and was scrapped at Victorville in 2003.

ATA only have three Tristars 1011-500 with seating capacity of 283 for military charters and they are due to be phased out November 2008.

There was an Alan Whicker documentary series about 12-15 years ago I’d guess where Whicker travelled on a round the world air cruise. The aircraft was a Tristar with fist class seating only, carrying abou 90 passengers. Not sure if this was an ATA machine.
The flight to Easter Island was very interesting with the trijet passing a point of no return with no diversionary airfield available.
