Starting December 1, Delta Air Lines is relaunching its daily services to Lagos, Nigeria, from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City.
With the resumption of daily service between New York and Lagos and current flights coming out of Atlanta, Delta will offer fourteen weekly flights between December and January and ten weekly flights for the remainder of the winter.
Passengers on the upcoming Nigeria services from NYC will be flying on one of Delta's Airbus A330-200S planes and will have a choice of numerous flight experiences, including Main Cabin, Delta One, Delta Premium Select, and Delta Comfort+.
Delta will also offer a number of entertainment, food, and beverage options for these experiences, including specialty snacks and premium beer, wine, and spirits.
Delta is also upgrading its Ghanan fleet flying to Accra. The enhancements include offering 30 percent more capacity by adding 1,000 more seats on their Airbus A330-900neo planes, which already provide Delta One Suites, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+, and Main Cabin.
In addition to upgrading its Ghana fleet, Delta is overhauling its South African fleet from Atlanta to Johannesburg and Capetown by adding Airbus A350-900 planes and eight new Delta One Suite seats.
“These enhancements reflect our dedication to meeting the evolving needs of our customers,” Delta’s Senior Vice President of Network Planning Joe Esposito said. “We’re expanding our options for customers to experience the premium service and elevated hospitality they expect from Delta.”

Flying on Japan Airlines has always been, well, delightfully Japanese. Think of it as an introduction—or if departing from Tokyo, a bid farewell—to the country’s characteristic tenets of respectful, nearly differential service; seafood-forward and fresh cuisine; and commitment to cultural traditions. (Onboard oshiburi, anyone?) Add in comfortable seats across all cabins—yes, even decent economy ones with 34 inches of recline—and you have an experience worth writing home about. Or at least not complaining to someone about.
