Our guide explains how the CDG-ATL route appears on a tracker map.

Can the Airbus A350-900 comfortably fly DL85?

Not at all. At roughly 47% of its range, this is an easy trip for an Airbus A350-900. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Airbus A350-900.

What to know about DL85

  • Time change: you land 5 hours behind the time you left. That is enough to cause jet lag. Here is how pilots handle it.

What we know about DL85

What flying CDG to ATL takes

It is a long-haul sector, a widebody route with a full night's flying time. Delta Air Lines needs a widebody twinjet: the sector needs long-range tanks and a cabin crew rest provision, which rules out most single-aisle types. Westbound, this route pushes into the prevailing winds aloft, which is why the eastbound leg is normally the quicker one. In daylight the sun sits on the left (south-facing) side of the cabin for most of the crossing.

How we verified this

The origin and destination on this page are the ones we verified for callsign DAL85 through adsbdb, not a schedule copied from elsewhere. We have logged it airborne on 41 days between 2026-09-19 and 2026-10-29. Timings are observations, not an official operational status: always confirm with the airline before travelling.

This page was published from our own tracking record rather than a third-party schedule feed, so it grows as we see the flight again. The seven-day log below is the raw version of the same evidence.

DL85 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 8 observations of DL85 across 8 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-29. Those records contain 6 distinct transponder addresses. The most frequently resolved route was CDG-ATL (8 records).

The median recorded visibility was 559 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does DL85 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Airbus A350-900, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown7,055 km
AircraftAirbus A350-900
Fuel burn rate6.03 kg per km
Fuel burned42,542 kg
CO2, whole flight134.4 tonnes
Seats, typical layout300
Passengers carried249 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger540 kg

Where that lands by cabin

The aircraft burns the same fuel whoever is aboard, so the cabins divide one total rather than each carrying their own. A seat's share is the floor it takes up, which is why an economy seat comes out below the 540 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy246 seats, 204 flown
396 kg CO2 per seat
Business45 seats, 37 flown
1,149 kg CO2 per seat
First9 seats, 7 flown
1,585 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, DL85 emits what 2,241 trees take back out of the air in a year. One economy seat on it accounts for about the same carbon dioxide as driving a petrol car 3,176 km, or 15,425 km of the same journey by train.

How this is worked out. Fuel burn is read from published measurements of this type, taken at sectors of 9,208 km, 10,249 km and 12,116 km, all longer than this route, so the closest is held flat and the real figure is likely a little higher. It counts carbon dioxide only, and the cabin split assumes the layout typical of this size of aircraft. Read the full method, sources and caveats, or put DL85 against another flight.
