Now all booked too. Arriving into Rome via Sydney, Bangkok and Dubai at lunch time on the 21st,
Home from Venice via Vienna, Monaco, Dubai and Hong Kong . I am flying out of Venice on the 3rd at 10:55am - if anyone is looking to share a water taxi let me know.
Don't be too concerned by the seat map you can see online as an indicator of availability - I just had a look at that delta flight and it's pretty wide open - just a whole lot of the seats at the front of economy are reserved for potential status passengers (seats not tickets)
For example here is the seat map for that delta flight JFK-FCO 21 March 2018 that I can see ($+ is comfort plus, P is seating reserved for high status passengers) - even seats showing as taken possibly aren't, and the P seats aren't sold they are just there to ensure if a high status passenger books they can get a "good" seat
I also wouldn't get too hung up about changing planes in Europe - in fact when flying from Europe to the US I would always take a European connection to a non stop flight to where I was going in the US over a non stop flight from Europe to a US connection point.
