Even though this summer season is just kicking off, Delta Air Lines is already thinking about next summer (and its big competitor in Seattle).<\/p>\n

Delta announced Tuesday that it’ll add two new long-haul routes from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA).<\/p>\n

The airline will commence service from Seattle to Barcelona and Rome next summer. Daily flights from SEA to Rome Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci Airport (FCO) will begin May 6, while service from SEA to Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) will take off one day later.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t immediately clear if Delta plans to operate both routes year-round or just seasonally, but the airline did say that the flights will operate daily.<\/p>\n

Both routes will operate on an Airbus A330-900neo aircraft \u2014 one of Delta’s newest and most premium international planes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It features 29 Delta One suites, 28 Premium Select recliners, 56 Comfort+ extra-legroom economy seats and 168 standard coach seats.<\/p>\n

Over the past decade, Delta has launched 28 new markets in Seattle and now operates nearly 180 peak-day departures to more than 60 destinations worldwide.<\/p>\n
