Delta adds direct flights from New York (JFK) airport to John Wayne Airport in Orange County, Calif. The non-stop service will start Oct. 15.
The addition marks the only non-stop from New York to Santa Ana, Calif., about an hour south of Los Angeles.
The addition is part of Delta’s increased West Coast service from JFK this summer, including new San Jose (SJC) offerings with increased San Diego (SAN) and Seattle (SEA) flights.
“Our customers have told us more flights to the West Coast are valuable to them and we’re very excited to add this nonstop service to John Wayne Airport in Orange County, complementing up to 10 daily nonstop flights from JFK to Los Angeles,” Chuck Imhof, Delta’s vice president – New York & Eastern division sales, said in a statement. “This is another great addition on top of more flights coming for our New York customers this fall.”
The JFK–Orange County route will operate six times a week, every day except Saturday. Delta will use a Boeing 737-700 plane with seating for 12 in first class, 18 in Delta Comfort+ and 94 in the main cabin.
