Delta Air Lines’ new non-stop flights between Athens (ATH) and New York (JFK) are now on sale for travel in summer 2016. The carrier plans to offer the route five times weekly from March 27, 2016, increasing to a daily service from May 24 and a double daily route from May 27. During the peak summer months, Delta will provide more than 7,500 weekly seats between Greece and the United States, in conjunction with joint venture partners Air France KLM and Alitalia.
“Our investment in our New York-JFK hub means we offer greater connectivity for customers traveling to the United States and beyond from Greece,” said Nat Pieper, senior vice president for Europe, Middle East and Africa, Delta Air Lines. “The U.S., meanwhile, is one of the top markets in terms of visitor numbers to Greece and with the service starting earlier than this year, plus an increase in the number of weekly seats on offer between Athens and the U.S. next summer, we are responding to higher demand for travel during this time and supporting inbound tourism.”
The Athens flights will offer full flat-bed seats with individual aisle access and a range of regionally inspired dining options in the Delta One cabin, as well as Westin Heavenly Inflight Bedding.
