Delta Air Lines Expands Winter Flights to Latin American and Caribbean Destinations

Delta Air Lines announced it would add around 35,000 seats to its 2023-24 winter flight schedule to Latin America and the Caribbean.

The 30 percent increase in available seats compared to last year’s winter season includes added Saturday frequencies to nine destinations in the region, such as Guatemala and Liberia, Costa Rica, in Central America, as well as San Juan, Puerto Rico.

By enhancing flight frequencies from six of its hubs in the United States, Delta boasts more journeys from Atlanta to St. Thomas, St. Maarten, Guatemala, San Jose, Liberia and San Juan.

Other routes with added flights this winter include Cancun to New York City’s JFK, San Juan to Boston and Detroit to Punta Cana, Montego Bay and San Juan. The airline is also adding service from Minneapolis to Punta Cana, Montego Bay, San Juan and Liberia.

Delta will begin flying the added Saturday routes seasonally, starting on January 13. The additional flights will operate on varying aircraft, including the Boeing 757-200, 737-900 and 737-800, all featuring First Class, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin.

In addition to more Saturday frequencies, the carrier is also adding an extra trip from Seattle to Cancun that will depart on Fridays and return on Saturdays. This route will begin operating seasonally on December 22 on the Boeing 737-800.

Recently, the airline unveiled its largest-ever holiday schedule, which has since been extended with many flights now available until April 2024 and 46 destinations served, including a brand-new route to Curacao and returning service to Cartagena, Colombia.
