Delta just announced its biggest transatlantic schedule yet, with seven new routes to some of Europe’s top destinations. If you’re already dreaming of a summer escape, here’s what you need to know about these new flights and how they might fit into your travel plans.
Delta’s Bold Move to Sicily
One of the most exciting additions is a new route to Catania, Sicily. Sicily has been growing in popularity among travelers looking for a blend of history, natural beauty, and authentic Italian culture. Delta’s new flight could make it easier to get there, but with more visitors heading to the island, it may not stay off the beaten path for long.
Naples: A New Gateway to Southern Italy
Delta’s new route to Naples opens up more direct access to the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, and beyond. While Naples hasn’t always been a top tourist pick, it’s a strategic hub for anyone looking to explore southern Italy. This could be a great option if you’re hoping to visit the region without going through Rome or other crowded gateways.
Extra Flights to Rome and Milan
Delta is doubling down on Italy with additional flights to Rome and Milan. These cities are already major tourist and business hubs, so more options can only help those looking for convenience. Whether you’re heading to the historic streets of Rome or Milan’s fashion-forward districts, these new flights should make your trip a bit smoother.
Barcelona’s Popularity Grows
Barcelona continues to be a favorite destination for American travelers, and Delta’s new route will add to the demand. From the beaches to the incredible architecture, it’s easy to see why this city is so popular. If you’ve been wanting to visit, Delta’s expanded service could make it easier to snag that dream trip.
Dublin and Brussels: More Choices for City Breaks
New routes to Dublin and Brussels also join the lineup. These are both great destinations for short city breaks or as jumping-off points to explore more of Europe. Whether you’re into Brussels’ rich history or Dublin’s lively pub scene, Delta’s new flights should make planning that trip a bit easier.
What This Means for Your Summer 2025 Travel Plans
With these new routes, Delta is clearly responding to growing demand for direct flights to Europe. For travelers, this means more choices, especially if you’re planning a summer vacation in 2025. While prices might not drop significantly, having more direct options is always a win when you’re planning a trip abroad.
