Customers looking for summer adventures abroad will discover plenty of inspiration in Delta’s service offerings to Europe, which includes more routes and destinations in 2022, along with more opportunities to indulge in Delta’s premium cabins with 143% more seats available to customers vs. summer 2021.
“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.
As the largest trans-Atlantic carrier from New York-JFK and Boston, Delta will operate up to 27 daily flights to 20 European destinations from JFK, including restarting pre-COVID service to Zurich, Brussels, Edinburgh, Copenhagen, and Prague.
In Boston, Delta will operate up to nine daily flights to nine trans-Atlantic destinations, offering nearly 5,000 more seats each week compared with summer 2019.
The carrier is also the U.S. Southeast’s largest carrier, operating up to 17 daily flights from Atlanta to 14 trans-Atlantic destinations, including increased three-times-daily service to Amsterdam as well as to London and Rome to twice-daily.
Its Midwest hubs in Detroit and Minneapolis will operate up to 14 daily nonstop flights to the airline’s global hubs in Amsterdam, London, and Paris as well as daily service to Frankfurt, Munich, and Reykjavík.
On the U.S. West Coast, the airline’s Seattle hub will operate twice-daily service to Amsterdam and once-daily service to London and Paris. Salt Lake City will offer a daily, nonstop flight to Delta’s three respective trans-Atlantic hubs. Delta will also return to daily Portland-to-Amsterdam service.
Premium leisure travel accelerates in 2022
As international travel returns, its 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 reclines 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.
Customers traveling in Delta One will enjoy refreshed amenities and services including artisan-made Someone Somewhere amenity kits, soft and comfortable beddings made from reveled materials, more beverage options before takeoff, new cocktail bites, a chef-curated three-course meal, and decadent desserts featuring a build-your-own ice cream sundae.
