'SkyMiles Members and Delta people are at the center of everything Delta does. The Route Race is a celebration of their influence, giving our community a voice in where they want to fly next and inviting them to help shape Delta's global network,' said Paul Baldoni, Delta's senior vice president of network planning. 'The destinations where Delta flies are more than just dots on a map – they're gateways to culture, connection and possibility, and this is a chance for our Members and employees to bring one of them closer."
Describing the three destinations, Delta said Sardinia, Italy, is a slower-paced but adventurous option with natural beauty, history and food. Malta was described as the escape that blends centuries of history with sunny Mediterranean charm. Ibiza was pitched as the global capital of nightlife with its world-famous DJs, beach parties and laid-back beach bars.
Delta currently flies to more than 300 destinations. This summer, the airline said it operated its largest-ever transatlantic schedule.

Delta and United Sued Over Windowless 'Window Seats'
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Delta Air Lines (DAL, Financials) and United Airlines (UAL, Financials) were hit with lawsuits Tuesday claiming they charged passengers extra for window seats that turned out to be next to blank walls. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Sign with UAL. Proposed class actions were filed in Brooklyn federal court against Delta and in San Francisco federal court against United. Each seeks millions of dollars in damages on behalf of more than 1 million passengers. The complaints cite Boeing 737s, Boeing 757s and Airbus A321s, where window rows are blocked by air-conditioning ducts or electrical conduits. Rivals including Alaska Airlines (ALK, Financials) and American Airlines (AAL, Financials) flag such seats during booking, but Delta and United allegedly do not. Passengers said they purchased window seats to ease fear of flying or motion sickness, entertain children, or simply enjoy the view. Had plaintiffs and the class members known that the seats they were purchasing were windowless, they would not have selected them much less have paid extra, one complaint said. The lawsuits add pressure on airlines already leaning on ancillary fees for revenue, from seat selection to baggage and cabin upgrades. United and Delta did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
