Delta ending Dayton flights to New York in September, adding service to Atlanta
Jun. 3—Delta Air Lines says that it is ending daily nonstop service from Dayton to LaGuardia Airport in New York City near in the end of this summer.
Delta launched the service at the Dayton International Airport three years ago, on June 6, 2022. The service to the 19th largest airport in the nation operates on a CRJ-900 aircraft that has 70 seats.
A Delta spokesperson said, "Delta routinely adjusts its network to meet demand. For any customers that are booked on flights that are impacted by a reduction, we will work to rebook them on an alternative itinerary. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience that schedule changes may cause."
When the service to LaGuardia ends on Sept. 7, the Dayton International Airport will have nonstop flights to 11 airports, said Melissa Riley Patsiavos, marketing and air service director for Dayton's aviation department.
Riley Patsiavos said Delta is going to add another daily route to Atlanta at the Dayton airport.
Delta says the route will run from Sept. 8 to Dec. 19, which will increase the number of "giant flights" between Dayton and Atlanta to five.
"Our daily service to ATL will increase to five daily trips and Delta's overall capacity from DAY will increase by 8%," Riley Patsiavos said.
She said many of the Dayton airport's airline partners still offer one-stop service to the New York City market, but not nonstop flights.
She also said United Airlines is increasing its capacity to Denver this June by upgrading to a larger aircraft.
The Dayton International Airport saw about 148,100 passenger boardings in the first quarter of this year, which is up 1.9% from the same period in 2024.
Delta accounts for slightly less than a quarter of the airport's passenger traffic. American Airlines represents nearly half of boardings, while United Airlines accounts for about 20%.
The Dayton airport has nonstop service to Atlanta, St. Pete-Clearwater, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Punta Gorda (Florida), and Washington D.C.

'Spotify has a huge audience and people love their content,' MileagePlus CEO Richard Nunn said in the announcement. 'And now our customers can enjoy it all in a simple and easy way, at 35,000 feet. United says it's working on adding the ability for passengers to sign into their own Spotify accounts on the in-flight entertainment screen via their personal device.

Airline passenger shocked when agent rejects checked bag for 'bizarre' reason
A flight passenger shared frustrations about a surprising issue involving a checked bag — garnering plenty of comments from other users. Posting in the "r/delta" Reddit forum with the title, "My checked bag was rejected for being underweight," the user wrote that large souvenirs from a trip would not fit in any of the person's existing bags. So "I stuffed them into the secret duffel bag that I always bring for such contingencies and tried to check it," the post said. "Imagine my surprise when the agent said I couldn't check my fluffy bag because it didn't weigh enough," read the post. "Is this the bizarro luggage counter?" the user asked. "The agent said I should go ahead and take it as a third carry-on, but I didn't want to get hassled by the gate agent,'" continued the post. The person did not want to be forced to check a backpack at the gate and ended up finding a few "heavy things" from the carry-on to add more weight. "Has this happened to anyone else?" asked the Reddit user. "What do you think is the reasoning behind this?" Users took to the comments section to discuss whether they'd ever heard of a checked bag rejected for being "underweight" and speculated about possible reasons for the rejection. "Might have been too lightweight and flexible to make it through the sorting machines and various belts to get from the bag check conveyor to the plane," suggested one user. Another Redditor wrote, "Could easily be blown from the belt or from the cart." Said another person, "I would've just checked my carry-on and taken souvenirs with me." Another user said, "Gate agents lately are super strict … Trying to get three obvious bags past them would most likely not work." "You checking helium balloons?" joked one user. Another Redditor said, "Gate checking usually results in the bag getting damaged less. It's the unknown airport bag mazes that cause trouble." Most airlines list the maximum weight of a checked bag on their website, but they do not state whether there is a minimum weight limit. Delta's website lists its price for the first and second "standard checked bag under 50 lbs." Bags on Frontier "must weigh 40 lbs or less," according to that company's website.

Why Delta Air Lines Stock Flew in May
Easing trade tensions encouraged investors to buy airline stocks in May. Delta is growing its premium ticket revenue as well as its co-brand credit card remuneration, helping diversify its revenue streams. 10 stocks we like better than Delta Air Lines › Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) stock rose by 16.2% in May, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The move primarily results from the de-escalation of the tariff conflict, primarily between the U.S. and China in mid-May. Airlines are good bellwethers of the economy. When travelers (consumers or corporate) are feeling confident in growth prospects, bookings are high, revenue passenger miles are in growth mode, and load factors (the percentage of seating capacity filled by paying passengers) are also high. The opposite applies when the economy turns down, or there's a fear of a downturn ahead. Moreover, these responses to a changing environment tend to be relatively rapid; thus, when President Donald Trump initiated the current tariff dispute, it caused uncertainty among consumers and corporate travelers, leading Delta and other airlines to revise or withdraw their initial full-year guidance. Delta is a case in point, with management electing not to reaffirm its full-year guidance during the first-quarter earnings call. That's hardly surprising given that first-quarter revenue growth of 3.3% came in significantly lower than the estimate for 7% to 9% given in January. That said, just as analysts and investors will rush to pencil in lower estimates for earnings based on rising trade tensions and greater uncertainty in the economy, they will assume higher earnings when trade tensions ease, as they did with the joint announcement of a rolling back of previously announced tariffs, for 90 days, in mid-May. The de-escalation raised hopes of an amicable end to the conflict, or at the very least a cessation of escalatory actions. Outside of tariff uncertainty, there are several reasons to like Delta Air Lines' stock. The airline continues to grow its higher-margin premium revenue. The airline industry is acting in a more disciplined manner than in previous decades by reducing capacity when demand slows. Additionally, Delta's loyalty programs and co-branded credit cards are diversifying its revenue streams. Moreover, management plans to utilize Delta's cash flow to reduce its debt load and enhance its balance sheet in the coming years. While it's incredibly tough to predict what the tariff landscape will look like through 2025 and beyond, all parties are saying they would like to resolve the various conflicts that created them in the first place. That's a positive, and given its positive exposure to thawing in the dispute, and its underlying attractiveness as a stock, Delta is worth buying for investors who are confident that there will be a resolution to the conflict that doesn't end up impairing growth.
