Delta Air Lines will launch flights from Miami directly to the capital of The Bahamas this fall for the first time, making it easier to reach the popular island destination as the weather gets colder.
The new route, which will launch on Nov. 5, will operate daily on a Boeing 737-800 aircraft, according to The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism. The flight will travel from Miami International Airport to Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport.
The route will mark the first time Delta has flown direct from Miami to the capital of Nassau, the tourism board noted.
“This move is another demonstration of the incredible demand for the destination and the reward of our efforts to strengthen partnerships to increase stopover visitors to our shores,” Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments, and Aviation Chester Cooper said in a statement. «The route will help satisfy that demand and it will also help Bahamians get to and from Florida easier.»
The new route will be in addition to Delta’s current winter service to Nassau from Atlanta, Boston, and both New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport.
A representative for Delta did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Travel + Leisure.
Delta isn’t alone in adding service to The Bahamas this fall. JetBlue will similarly launch new flights to Nassau from Los Angeles on Nov. 4, marking its first nonstop service from the West Coast to Nassau. JetBlue currently flies to the island from seven other U.S. cities, including from Fort Lauderdale, Boston, and New York.
Travelers who do head to Nassau for a fall or winter escape will love how easy it is to fly back to the U.S. since the Lynden Pindling International Airport offers preclearance, allowing travelers to go through U.S. customs before boarding their flight, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Last year, the Transportation Security Administration also opened its first-ever TSA PreCheck location outside of the U.S. at the airport there.

New Zealand’s southwest corner is where the roads run out — leaving some 4,500sq miles of forest, fjords and jagged mountain chains that make up the country’s largest area of wilderness. Three of New Zealand’s 10 officially recognised Great Walks take dedicated hikers through the northern interior of this region, along the Routeburn, Milford and Kepler tracks. Soon, the coastal south will get its recognition too, as the Hump Ridge Track becomes the newest member of the top league of Kiwi hikes.
Inan industrial park near Seattle’s airport, an Australian company called Micro-X is developing a system that could make air travelers’ dreams come true: speedy security screening that promises minimal interaction with TSA officers.

Travelers with access to United’s airport lounges will have a whole new experience the next time they go through Denver International Airport (DEN). The airline is expanding its lounge space at the Mile High City lounge hub by more than 100,000 square feet — the size of two football fields — among other infrastructure improvements set to be complete by 2025.
In November 2016, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck and ravaged the region around the town of Kaikoura on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island. The earthquake and the ensuing landslides killed two people, and demolished homes, roads, and railway tracks. Indeed, parts of the Main North Line, one of the most scenic rail routes in the world, slid into the ocean, forcing the Coastal Pacific train to stop its operation. In 2018, the line was repaired and the magnificent train journey between Christchurch and Picton resumed. Today, the Coastal Pacific still runs along the Pacific Ocean, allowing travelers to see New Zealand’s beauty, the slow and comfortable way.
