(TAN): Delta is ramping up service across the pond to nearly 30 weekly flights this fall, as the global gateway between the United States and United Kingdom reopened to fully vaccinated US residents without quarantine August 2, the US airline said in a statement.
Customers can choose nonstop service to London Heathrow (LHR) via four US hubs as Delta restarts three-times-weekly service from Seattle (SEA) October 7, and four-times-weekly service from Detroit (DTW) October 11. Additionally, New York-JFK flights will double to twice a day beginning October 6. Customers can also continue flying daily from Atlanta (ATL).

With Delta’s joint venture partner Virgin Atlantic, customers can also seamlessly connect to LHR with over 30 flights from Boston (BOS), Los Angeles (LAX) and Miami (MIA), as well as ATL and JFK. The airlines currently offer a combined 43 weekly flights, operated in conjunction with KLM and Air France.
“This long-awaited reopening marks a major milestone since the borders closed to most travelers, more than a year ago,” said Joe Esposito, SVP, network planning at Delta. “We’re excited to help customers reclaim their joy of travel, always keeping their health and safety our top priority amid the dynamic environment of global travel.”
