Delta expands summer schedule

“Delta has been focused on building back our network to give customers easy, convenient access to wherever they want to go, and we’re delivering on that promise with up to 74 daily flights to 21 European destinations from 10 U.S. gateways this summer,” said Joe Esposito, Delta’s S.V.P. – Network Planning. “We have also accelerated improvements to our aircraft so that customers can enjoy a more comfortable journey, including offering more seats than ever before in Delta Premium Select, which will be available on nearly every flight to Europe in the months ahead.”

The airline has already added flights to major cities across the Atlantic with more frequencies, returning routes and modernized, upgraded aircraft. The latest updates to Delta’s summer schedule include new flights between New York-JFK and Stockholm (ARN) starting June 1 and between Salt Lake City and London-Heathrow (LHR) beginning May 14.

Through Delta’s partnerships with Air France, KLM and Virgin Atlantic, customers can access nearly 200 more destinations throughout Europe, Africa, the Middle East and India from 19 U.S. cities.

PREMIUM LEISURE TRAVEL ACCELERATES IN 2022

Delta expands summer schedule: As international travel returns, Delta customers on nearly every flight to Europe will enjoy upgraded experiences on the airline’s refreshed Airbus A330** and Boeing 767-300 fleets, which now offer a consistent onboard experience with a choice of four experiences – Delta One or Delta One Suites, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin. Both fleet types have also received additional upgrades like refreshed lavatories and new LED cabin lighting.

Delta Premium Select, the airline’s premium economy cabin, includes more space to relax and stretch out with a wider seat, deeper recline and an adjustable footrest and leg rest. Customers will watch Delta’s best-in-class seatback entertainment on larger screens while powering up their own devices with in-seat power and USB ports. They’ll also receive an upgraded amenity kit, noise-canceling headsets and a blanket and memory-foam pillow to help them arrive rested and refreshed. Customers can expect additional enhancements to the Delta Premium Select in-flight experience later this year.

Delta FlyReady℠ – the airline’s digital dashboard solution that helps customers verify they’ve met their destination’s entry requirements prior to travel – was recently updated with an improved experience for customers traveling internationally. The update introduced a more personalized view of travel requirements at the customer’s destination, an all-new design with a more responsive and enhanced interface on mobile, and easier-to-use functionality, allowing customers to better manage their documents.
