On which domestic routes does Delta currently offer widebody aircraft?
Generally speaking, widebody aircraft are configured for long-haul international flying, and this means that the cabins you'll find onboard are often more comfortable than the cabins offered on the narrowbody aircraft that we usually find operating domestically on short haul routes.
These are Delta’s five new summer routes to Europe (+ two route resumptions)
Over the weekend, Delta Air Lines updated its schedules for summer 2025 to include five new routes to four different countries and the resumption of two European routes that the airline hasn't operates since 2016 and 2020 respectively. This is what all of those routes look like (including the newly published schedules).
This is Delta’s timetable for providing free wifi on international routes

Delta has changed some of its plans for its European routes in summer 2025
Delta is in the spotlight today as it has pushed through several changes to its European route plans for the summer 2025 season. Some changes appear positive, while others may disappoint, so if you're planning to cross the pond with Delta next year, now would be the time to check your bookings.
Delta will return to flying ex-LATAM A350s on its Los Angeles – Auckland route...
Since the launch of its LA - Auckland route, Delta has been using the A350-900s that it acquired from LATAM to fly between Los Angeles and Auckland but up until recently, the schedules showed Delta's original A350s taking over the route from 20 May and continuing to operate the route through the summer and through the next winter season. This is no longer the case.
Delta adds more flights to Shanghai from Detroit
A little over a weeks ago we had United Airlines announcing that it would be re-launching its route between Los Angeles and Shanghai and increasing capacity to Hong Kong and now, in a recent schedule update, Delta has added more flights to Shanghai out of Detroit.

Delta is bringing back its 3rd daily flight between Atlanta and London
As things stand, Delta offers a double daily service between Atlanta and London using its Boeing 767-400 aircraft, but once the summer season rolls along, not only will one of these flights be upgraded to a larger aircraft, the route will get back its 3rd daily flight that hasn't operated in seven years.
Delta delays the resumption of its Los Angeles – Shanghai route (again!)

Delta is resuming flights to Cuba next year

Delta enhances its European summer schedule (in a good way!)
Delta has announced that next year's summer season will see it relaunching a number of routes that were suspended while we dealt with the pandemic, relaunching a number of routes that the airline hasn't operated for years, and launching at least one completely new route (albeit not a very interesting one!). Most importantly from my point of view, Los Angeles will finally be getting a little love.
Delta announces a huge order for an aircraft that Boeing has threatened not to...
After two or three years of rumors, Delta has used the Farnborough International Airshow to finally announce that it plans to throw Boeing a lifeline by ordering up to 130 of its 737 MAX aircraft. As with most aircraft orders that get announced at airshows, this order may or may not be fulfilled in the way that it's currently being presented but because this order involves the MAX 10, there's actually an outside chance that the order will not be fulfilled at all.
Delta will offer three new routes to Hawaii next winter
The current winter season may still have over a month left to run but Delta is already getting ready for winter 2022/23 by planning a number of new routes to Hawaii. Both Oahu and Maui will be seeing new services from Delta with the new routes originating in Atlanta, Detroit, and New York.

Delta Has Announced A New Service To Croatia
Although the European Union has made some positive noises about opening up its borders to travelers from the United States, nothing concrete has yet been put into place and that has left the bigger US airlines looking around for destinations that they don’t yet serve and that are happy to accept visitors with a year’s worth of travel dollars burning holes in their pockets.
Delta Is Adding New Seasonal Routes Out Of Los Angeles

Back in November, American Airlines announced that it was eliminating change fees on most international bookings that originate in the United States and now, three weeks later, Delta has followed suit with a similar announcement of its own.
Delta Is Already Scaling Back Transatlantic Plans For Winter Season
It was less than four weeks ago that Delta first unveiled its transatlantic plans for the upcoming winter season (and for summer 2020) and, at the time, I pointed out that the proposed plans looked ambitious in the light of what was going on around us. Delta has now posted a long list of updates to its worldwide schedules for winter 2020/21 and it looks like the airline has come to the same conclusion that I did as it cuts routes and frequencies proposed just 4 weeks ago.
Delta’s Misleading Cancellation Email Really, Really Annoyed Me
Just as I was arriving home last night, I heard the iPhone in my pocket "ping" in the way it always does when a new email drops into my inbox and, upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an email from Delta letting me know that my December trip home to Los Angeles had been cancelled. Considering the state of flux that the airline schedules are currently in, the cancellation of my flight wasn't a huge surprise so I wasn't overly disappointed, but the wording Delta used in its email really, really annoyed me.
Delta Follows United’s Lead & Eliminates Domestic Change Fees
United Airlines caught a lot of people off guard when it announced that it would be eliminating most change fees for domestic itineraries with immediate effect and, not all that surprisingly, Delta has followed suit and confirmed that it has also eliminated most domestic change fees with immediate effect.

Delta Confirms It Is Retiring Its Boeing 777 Fleet This Year
Delta is the proud operator of 18 Boeing 777 aircraft and it has refitted each of these aircraft with its highly acclaimed "Delta One Suites" that have taken US airline premium cabins to a whole new level. With that in mind, it's more than a little surprising to see Delta announce that it will be retiring all 18 of these aircraft by the end of this year.
Delta Is Raising $3 Billion To Ease Its Liquidity Issues
Yesterday, I wrote about United Airlines heading to the stock market to raise up to $1.1 billion to add to the $5 billion the US government just handed the airline, and now it's Delta's turn to tap up big investors for more cash as it announces a bond issue and a new Term Loan B facility which will total an impressive $3 billion.

Delta Schedules More A330-900neo Service Out Of Seattle
Delta started taking delivery of the new Airbus A330-900neo back at the end of May and it has been operating the latest-generation aircraft on routes out of Seattle since July.

Delta took delivery of its first Airbus A330-900neo just a few weeks ago with the aircraft set to enter service on the airline's Seattle - Shanghai route from 1 July. Earlier this month that entry into service date was pushed back to 15 July but the schedules on Delta's two other planned A330-900neo routes remained firm....up until now.
Delta Unveils New TUMI Amenity Kits For Business Class & Premium Economy
Delta's TUMI amenity kits have traditionally been pretty good (I still have a couple stashed away somewhere) so regular Delta flyers will be pleased to hear that the airline is refreshing its amenity kit offering across all cabins (yes, even Economy Class is getting a little bit of love) and the new kits should start to appear onboard later this month.
Delta’s New Airbus A330-900neo – What You Need To Know
Delta has now taken delivery of its first Airbus A330-900neo aircraft (with a further 34 deliveries expected to follow) so, with the aircraft scheduled to fly its first Delta long-haul international route in July, I thought I'd take a closer look at the latest addition to the Delta fleet.
Delta Delays Airbus A330-900neo Introduction To Mid-July
Delta took delivery of its first Airbus A330-900neo at the end of last month and was scheduled to become the first US airline too operate the new aircraft on a long-haul route in a little under a month's time. Well, based on what the Delta reservation system is currently showing, Delta will still be the first airline to operate the A330-900neo but the aircraft will no longer be entering service on 1 July as had been expected.
Tentative: Winners & Losers In The Haneda Slot Lottery
It seems long ago than February but it was only three months ago that United, together with American, Delta, and Hawaiian, applied to the US Department of Transport to operate the new Tokyo Haneda slots that are up for grabs. The US DoT has just 12 slots it can bestow upon the carriers it thinks will use them best (in the interest of consumers) but, between them, the US carriers applied for 19 so that left the DoT with some decisions to make.
Delta Swaps Out Boeing 767s On 8 International Routes
Delta's international Business Class product on its A330 aircraft is great and the introduction of the Delta One Suites on the airline's A350s has been a big success, but Delta also has a lot of 767 aircraft flying its network (78 of them to be precise) and these aircraft offer a Business Class cabin that has seen better days.

Delta Will Finally Launch Service To Mumbai From 22 December
Around this time last year Delta announced that it planned to launch service between the US and Mumbai in 2019 but gave no further details of its plans. There was no mention of which US city would offer the new service, no details of how often the route would be flown and no details of what aircraft we could expect the airline to use.
Delta Will Not Fit Delta One Suites To Its 767-400 Aircraft
Delta received a lot of praise for being one of the first airlines to offer a true suite-style product in Business Class when it unveiled its Airbus A350 and, since then, we've seen the Delta One suite slowly installed on the airline's 777s and, we're told, we'll soon see it offered on its new A330-900s too....but the suite is not coming to the 767-400.
Delta Has Announced Its First Airbus A330-900 Routes
Delta will soon be taking delivery of its first Airbus A330-900neo aircraft and, from what I can tell, the airline has just announced the first international routes we can expect to see the aircraft fly....although it hasn't explicitly stated that these are its first A330-900 routes.
Delta Expands Its Meal Pre-Selection Option To Most Domestic Mainline Flights
Delta first introduced pre-select meals back in March 2018 on in select Delta One cabins departing from Atlanta and New York JFK.

Now Delta is going a step further.

Delta and its SkyTeam partners have announced a significant increase in their services to/from Boston for 2019 and, coming on top of Delta's other increased Boston services over the past two years (a new Las Vegas service and new services to Nashville, San Francisco, Jamaica) this puts Delta in a very strong position in Boston.

On What Routes Does Delta Offer Its Delta One Suites?
While Delta's A350s have slowly been coming on line the airline has also been refitting its 777 aircraft with the new Delta One Suite and we're now finally starting to see the suite offered on enough routes that a sighting is no longer a rarity....but on what routes does Delta actually offer Delta One Suites?
Delta One Pre-Select Meals Are Now Available Globally
Back in May Delta announced that customers flying in its Delta One Business Class cabins flying select routes from the US to Europe would be able to choose their meals in advance starting 1 June.
At the end of September the number of flights departing the US for Europe and offering pre-select meals was increased, a number of flights departing Europe (for the US) were added to the pre-select program, all Delta One domestic routes began offering the pre-select service and select routes between the US and Asia/Australia joined in too.
Looking Likely: Delta Will Install 29 Business Class Suites On Its New A330s
Delta is the first and only US airline to have installed suites into some of its long-haul aircraft and it's a move which has seen the airline go from having one of the older Business Class products on the market to an airline offering one of the best.
As things stand the Delta One suite is only to be found on the airline's new Airbus A350 aircraft and on a select number of its 777s but, if a clever bit of sleuthing turns out to be correct, the Delta One suites will soon be coming to another of Delta's aircraft.
Delta Changes Access To International Third-Party Business Class Lounges
Delta has announced that it will be changing the rules surrounding which flyers have access to third-party lounges at select destinations. In some cases lounge access is being withdrawn entirely while in others its elite members that are seeing their access rights withdrawn.
Delta Moves To Curb Fake Service & Support Animals On Board
If you ask US road warriors to list out the things that annoy them the most when they fly most of them will put unruly fake support animals down somewhere on their list.
Because the Air Carriers Access Act requires airlines to provide in-cabin travel for for service and support animals without charge, the number of animals seen onboard domestic flights had ballooned out of proportion and a lot of us suspect that a large percentage of these animals are neither genuine service animals or genuine support animals.
GREAT NEWS: Delta Will Offer Complimentary Upgrades To Delta One On Domestic Routes

Review: Delta One Business Class 767 (Overnight JFK – MAD)
Amazingly, after more years of flying than I care to admit to, this was my first ever experience of flying with Delta and, as such, this was my first ever visit to Terminal 4 at New York's JFK airport.
I was really looking forward to trying out Delta's transatlantic Business Class product (Delta One) as I wanted to see just how good a product the airline offers to make up for its atrocious rewards program (Delta SkyMiles has been nicknamed SkyPesos for a reason!).
The New Delta One Suite Looks Fantastic!
You have to feel a little sorry for United and American Airlines (ok you don't really). United and American have been playing catch-up to Delta for years and things looked like they were starting to go their way. American Airlines finally has some excellent Business Class cabins on its long haul aircraft (the 777-300ER currently has the best Business Class seat across the Atlantic and the 787 seats aren't too far behind) and United must have been looking forward to a long period where it clawed back some of the customers it haemorrhaged to Delta with its own impressive-looking Polaris Business Class that is coming in December.
