A New Winter Flight Connects the Midwest to Colorado's Top Ski Resorts

Also posted was a new daily winter route between Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Austin, Texas, to Mexico’s Los Cabos International Airport, as well as a daily route between New York City’s JFK Airport and Sarasota, Florida. With the news of the JFK flight came a few cuts: Delta will no longer be flying between JFK and Memphis, Tennessee, or St. Louis, Missouri, in winter.

While skiers in the Midwest will likely be thrilled to have a new option, it’s not the only recent expansion from Delta. On June 24, Delta announced two new international flights from its hub in Seattle, Washington. Now, Seattleites can fly direct to Barcelona, Spain, or Rome, Italy. The new flights will launch in May 2026, running three times per week to Barcelona and four times per week to Rome.

Delta also recently launched its first flight from Salt Lake City to Seoul-Incheon (ICN) in Seoul, South Korea. It’s the first direct flight from any destination in Utah to South Korea and operates year-round on a daily basis.

Finally, non-skiers also have some new options on the ever-expanding airline. In April 2025, Delta Air Lines announced two new flights from Atlanta, Georgia, connecting the city with the Caribbean destinations of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVD) and Grenada (GND). They’re the first direct flights from Atlanta to these destinations, with both operating daily between December 2025 and April 2026. In May 2026, each route will transition to a once-a-week schedule on Saturdays, before returning to daily service for winter 2026.
