This week, The Islands of The Bahamas and Alaska Airlines marked a significant milestone jointly welcoming first-ever passengers from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) in Nassau, the nation’s booming capital. Respectively launched on December 14 and 15, the new nonstop routes provide West Coast travellers with greater access to the coveted Caribbean paradise renowned for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters and vibrant culture.
Delta Is Adding Its First-ever Nonstop Flight to This Asian City Next Year
07.12.2023 - 20:01 / travelandleisure.com / Delta
Delta Air Lines will launch flights from Seattle to Taiwan next summer, flying direct from the United States to the island for the first time.
The new flight will launch on June 6, 2024, and will offer daily nonstop service from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) in Taipei, according to Delta. The airline will use an Airbus A330-900neo aircraft for the year-round service.
This route, subject to government approval, will mark the first time Delta has flown to Taiwan since 2017 when they operated a connection there from Tokyo’s Narita International Airport (NRT).
“This route not only opens new doors to Taipei’s captivating skyline, vibrant night markets, and rich cultural heritage, but it also marks a significant stride in enhancing Seattle's global connectivity,” Joan Wang, a managing director with the airline, said in a statement obtained by Travel + Leisure. “This strategic addition to Delta's trans-Pacific portfolio is poised to make a profound impact on the Seattle market, fostering increased business and leisure travel opportunities for our discerning customers.”
The new flight comes months after Taiwan introduced a plan to pay tourists to visit. Those not part of tour groups who stay on the island for three to 90 days can enter to win a voucher for NT $5,000 ($159.16), according to the Taiwan Tourism Administration. In total, 500,000 travelers will be selected to win through June 30, 2025.
Delta will also serve three other trans-Pacific destinations with non-stop service from Seattle: Seoul, Tokyo, and Shanghai.
Beyond Seattle, the airline added several other flights across the Pacific this year, including resuming service to Tokyo’s Haneda Airport from Honolulu and Minneapolis. It is also launching service from Los Angeles to Auckland, New Zealand.

How to Survive Long-Haul Flights
Long-haul flights are generally considered to be those eight hours and over, while any that stretch past a grueling 16 hours are nicknamed “ultra long-haul.” The longest nonstop commercial flights currently available include New York to Singapore (18 hours and 50 minutes; 9,530 miles) and Perth, Australia, to London (17 hours and 45 minutes; 9,010 miles). Qantas Airways, Australia’s national airline, plans to operate two even longer direct flights in 2025: Sydney to London and Sydney to New York — routes that will take up to 20 hours.
