Delta Air Lines is making a few big changes to its route network.<\/p>\n

The Atlanta-based carrier is slashing two of its most interesting transcontinental routes, and it’s also adding a second daily flight frequency on one of the longest routes in its network.<\/p>\n

There’s lots to digest, so read on for the details.<\/p>\n

Delta cuts 2 transcon flights<\/h2>\n

To start, Delta is axing two of its longest flights from New York’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA). Specifically, the airline will cease flying from LGA to Los Angeles and Phoenix effective Jan. 8, 2024, as first seen in Cirium schedules and later confirmed by a carrier spokesperson.<\/p>\n

These flights were announced earlier this year<\/a> as part of a big expansion westward of New York.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Delta said that “we continuously evaluate our network to make the changes that will help meet the needs of our customers and best allocate our resources. We apologize for any inconvenience and will work with our customers booked on flights beyond this service suspension date to make the necessary adjustments to their travels.”<\/p>\n

Though the airline’s statement doesn’t really shed light on the reasoning behind the cuts, these flights might’ve been doomed from the start.<\/p>\n
