In a history-making move, Delta Airlines has officially launched its largest-ever trans-Atlantic flight schedule, inviting globetrotters to experience the dazzling allure of European destinations in an unprecedented capacity. With a significant 30% increase in seat availability compared to 2022, Delta is bridging the distance between the U.S. and Europe like never before.
Delta’s new summer offerings feature an astounding 650 weekly flights, spanning 77 routes to 32 breathtaking destinations across Europe and beyond. From the enchanting French Riviera to the sun-drenched islands of the Mediterranean, from the ancient wonders of Rome to the cultural richesse of Tel Aviv, a world of unforgettable adventures awaits.
Delta’s booming trans-Atlantic operation targets key routes from its major U.S. hubs – Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles, and New York-JFK, allowing a convenient and comfortable connection to the magical landscapes of countries like Italy, Iceland, France, and Greece. In the past quarter, Delta has launched or recommenced 32 of these routes, solidifying its position as the largest U.S. carrier for several European summer hotspots.
Exploring from Atlanta
Delta has reestablished a daily route to Tel Aviv in Atlanta and initiated a new connection to Nice, France. These additions supplement the already existing and popular New York-JFK to Nice route. Delta has also expanded its European links from Atlanta to the mystical lands of Edinburgh, Scotland, augmenting existing New York-JFK and Boston services.
Soaring from Los Angeles
As the most extensive global carrier at LAX, Delta has fortified its stronghold by reconnecting Los Angeles with the romance of Paris. The Paris route will be critical for attendees of the forthcoming Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games and LA28. The airline has resumed daily nonstop service to London Heathrow to accommodate the summer travel surge.
Jetting from New York-JFK
Delta has shattered records at JFK, boasting its most extensive trans-Atlantic schedule from this hub. Over 230 weekly departures connect to 26 destinations, featuring Geneva and beloved summer hotspots like Reykjavík, Iceland; Venice, Italy; Prague, Nice; and Copenhagen, Denmark. In a notable comeback, Delta restored its presence at London Gatwick after 15 years and resumed flights to Berlin, equating to its pre-pandemic capacity in 2019.
Departing from Detroit
This week marked the launch of Delta’s daily flights from Detroit to Rome. An equally exciting introduction was the unveiling of a daily service to Reykjavik, Iceland, thrilling thrill-seeking adventurers with new possibilities.
Elevated Flight Experiences
Delta’s trans-Atlantic flights offer a choice of four distinct experiences to cater to various traveller needs: Delta One or Delta One Suites, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+, and Main Cabin. Every cabin has seat-back screens featuring complimentary premium entertainment via Delta Studio, in-seat power, high-speed Wi-Fi (free Wi-Fi for Delta’s entire fleet by the end of 2024), and free mobile messaging.
Delta One customers can enjoy lie-flat seats, premium amenities, and gourmet dining options. Meanwhile, Delta Premium Select customers want extra space, superior comfort, an elevated dining experience, and dedicated service touchpoints.
