Delta Announces New Flights To These 3 Caribbean Destinations
Visitors to several popular tropical destinations just got even more flight options. On February 2, Delta Airlines announced that it will be adding new routes to parts of Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Barbados later this year. These completely new destinations come in addition to several recent announcements of increased flight options on routes that are currently covered or bringing back older routes that were previously eliminated from Delta’s schedules.
Delta’s increased flight options will include routes between Minneapolis/St. Paul and Mazatlán, Mexico from December 21 and Atlanta and both Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic and Barbados from November 23. Atlanta and Minneapolis/St. Paul are both major Delta hubs, which means that flights to and from both of these airports will also open up a significant number of options for connections to these destinations from airports across the country.
With these additions, Delta’s full flight schedule to Latin American countries will include nearly 1,000 options per week. By next winter, these flights will include options for visiting at least 50 destinations in this region, which will play a major role in increasing Delta’s coverage of many of the closest tropical destinations for American travelers.
Delta also claims to be the number one airline to fly to South America, and boosting its presence in Latin America alongside continued South American growth is sure to further boost its popularity as one of the best-known international airlines in the United States.
Other recently announced new destinations or locations with increased Delta flights include Tulum, Curaçao, Aspen, Fresno, Santa Barbara, and many others. While some of these changes may simply involve moving from one daily flight to two, this still means that twice as many people will have the opportunity to take advantage of these routes, and travelers that experience missed or canceled flights will not have to wait as long to take a replacement flight.
