Delta Air Lines is quickly moving to capture some of the territory that JetBlue Airways just retreated from.<\/p>\n
The Atlanta-based carrier filed plans over the weekend to launch two interesting new routes, one from Boston and another from New York, as first seen in Cirium Diio schedules.<\/p>\n
To start, Delta will add new daily flights between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and San Antonio International Airport (SAT) beginning Nov. 11. This route will operate year-round and provide the only nonstop connection between Boston and San Antonio.<\/p>\n
Value check: Are airline credit cards worth it anymore?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Delta will deploy a 109-seat Airbus A220-100<\/a> on this route, which features 12 first-class recliners, 15 Comfort+ extra-legroom seats and 82 standard economy seats. The A220 is a joy to fly<\/a> with its oversized windows, expanded overhead bins and a comfortable 2-3 configuration.<\/p>\n The flight will depart Boston at 9:15 a.m. and land in San Antonio at 1:13 p.m. It’ll depart SAT at 2 p.m. and land back in Boston at 7:05 p.m.<\/p>\n In a statement, Delta shared that “the addition of Boston-San Antonio to the Delta network will provide the only nonstop access for consumers between these two cities starting in November. Moreover, this service will increase Delta’s coverage of top 50 markets from our Boston hub and will help build upon Delta’s #1 position there.”<\/p>\n
