Delta Air Lines just announced a slew of new and expanded flight paths to warm-weather destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean, all slated to roll out this coming November and December. The additional flights will offer travelers greater options and more flexibility for booking trips during a time of year that sees increased demand for travel, especially to tropical locales.
In a statement, Delta’s senior vice president of network planning, Joe Esposito, said, “This latest schedule gives travelers unparalleled choice, with up to 1,000 weekly flights to distinctive places throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.”
The new and expanded service details include (all departure and arrival times are in local time):
Each route will operate on a Boeing 737-800, which features 16 first-class recliners, 36 Comfort+ seats (which boast extra legroom and dedicated overhead space), and 108 standard economy seats. Tickets are already available for each itinerary on delta.com.
Those destinations aren’t the only ones in Latin America and the Caribbean the carrier is connecting to next winter. All told, Delta will offer flights to 50 cities across the region (and nearly 200 cities worldwide).
This is just the latest effort in Delta’s global expansion. In the final months of 2023, the airline announced a new nonstop route from Atlanta to Mexico’s brand-new Tulum Airport (TQO), which will launch on March 28, 2024, and it plans to add a daily nonstop service from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) starting June 6, 2024. Spring and summer 2024 will see new routes to Europe such as ATL to Zurich Airport (ZRH) beginning May 31; JFK to Italy’s Naples International Airport (NAP) and to Ireland’s Shannon Airport (SNN), both starting May 23; and JFK to Germany’s Munich Airport (MUC) starting April 9.
