Delta adding new nonstop Saturday flights for the summer to these Florida cities
Many of the new flights will help people get to popular vacation destinations, such as (ahem) Florida. But Sunshine State residents can use them, too.
Nonstop flights to and from Detroit are coming to Pensacola and Destin-Fort Walton, starting on June 8. Both routes will use a Boeing 717, the company said in a release.
Other Saturday domestic flights include Atlanta to Bangor, Maine and Rapid City, South Dakota; Detroit to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic and Bozeman, Montana; and Minneapolis-St. Paul to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
The airline added twice-daily nonstop service from Austin to Panama City in March and year-round nonstop service from Austin to Jacksonville in May. Service to Tampa is scheduled to begin in June. Service between Austin and Orlando will increase to twice daily this winter during peak travel season, the company said.
Delta also plans to offer new daily flights starting Nov. 6 between the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport in Panama City and LaGuardia Airport in Queens, New York.
In February, Delta announced the airline was adding three new domestic routes on December 20, including one between Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers and Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC)
Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
Bangor Internatinal Airport (BGR), from June 8 to Sept. 25, with a Boeing 737-800
Rapid City Regional Airport (RAP), from June 8 to Sept. 25, with a Boeing 737-800
Detroit (DTW)
Pensacola International Airport (PNS), from June 8 to Sept. 25, with a Boeing 717
National Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS), from June 8 to Sept. 25, with a Boeing 717
Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ), from May 10 to Aug. 25, with a Boeing 737-900
Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN), from June 8 to Sept. 25, with an Airbus A319
Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP)
Jackson Hole (JAC), from June 8 to Sept. 25, with an Airbus A319
Earlier in May, Delta announced it was folding its Basic Economy fare into a new Delta Main category (previously called Main Cabin), which will contain three levels:
Delta Main Basic: Roughly the same as Basic Economy, a bare-bones fare with restrictions.
Delta Main Classic: Includes options for same-day standby, higher boarding priority and other perks
Delta Main Extra: Includes an even better boarding position, more miles per dollar and more
Delta Comfort+ will become Delta Comfort, and First Class will be called Delta First. Premium Select, the airline's international-style premium economy service, and its Delta One business class will keep their names. All four categories will have two levels, Classic and Extra.
You can get the benefits you've become accustomed to when you book Classic – seat selection, no-fee cancellation and Same-Day Standby,' the airline said in an FAQ section on its website. 'Extra gets you more than Classic or our previous Refundable ticket option. With Extra, you can enjoy full refundability if you decide to cancel, earlier boarding, free Same-Day Confirmed options and more miles earned.'
