Delta adding new nonstop Saturday flights for the summer to these Florida cities
Many of the new flights will help people get to popular vacation destinations, such as (ahem) Florida. But Sunshine State residents can use them, too.
Nonstop flights to and from Detroit are coming to Pensacola and Destin-Fort Walton, starting on June 8. Both routes will use a Boeing 717, the company said in a release.
Other Saturday domestic flights include Atlanta to Bangor, Maine and Rapid City, South Dakota; Detroit to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic and Bozeman, Montana; and Minneapolis-St. Paul to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
The airline added twice-daily nonstop service from Austin to Panama City in March and year-round nonstop service from Austin to Jacksonville in May. Service to Tampa is scheduled to begin in June. Service between Austin and Orlando will increase to twice daily this winter during peak travel season, the company said.
Delta also plans to offer new daily flights starting Nov. 6 between the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport in Panama City and LaGuardia Airport in Queens, New York.
In February, Delta announced the airline was adding three new domestic routes on December 20, including one between Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers and Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC)
Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
Bangor Internatinal Airport (BGR), from June 8 to Sept. 25, with a Boeing 737-800
Rapid City Regional Airport (RAP), from June 8 to Sept. 25, with a Boeing 737-800
Detroit (DTW)
Pensacola International Airport (PNS), from June 8 to Sept. 25, with a Boeing 717
National Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS), from June 8 to Sept. 25, with a Boeing 717
Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ), from May 10 to Aug. 25, with a Boeing 737-900
Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN), from June 8 to Sept. 25, with an Airbus A319
Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP)
Jackson Hole (JAC), from June 8 to Sept. 25, with an Airbus A319
Earlier in May, Delta announced it was folding its Basic Economy fare into a new Delta Main category (previously called Main Cabin), which will contain three levels:
Delta Main Basic: Roughly the same as Basic Economy, a bare-bones fare with restrictions.
Delta Main Classic: Includes options for same-day standby, higher boarding priority and other perks
Delta Main Extra: Includes an even better boarding position, more miles per dollar and more
Delta Comfort+ will become Delta Comfort, and First Class will be called Delta First. Premium Select, the airline's international-style premium economy service, and its Delta One business class will keep their names. All four categories will have two levels, Classic and Extra.
You can get the benefits you've become accustomed to when you book Classic – seat selection, no-fee cancellation and Same-Day Standby,' the airline said in an FAQ section on its website. 'Extra gets you more than Classic or our previous Refundable ticket option. With Extra, you can enjoy full refundability if you decide to cancel, earlier boarding, free Same-Day Confirmed options and more miles earned.'

Here's Why Shares in United Airlines Took Off Today
Key Points The warning that a low-cost carrier could go out of business is good news for network carriers. United Airlines is well-positioned to outperform in the current environment. 10 stocks we like better than United Airlines › Shares in United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAL) had soared by 9.4% as of 1 p.m. ET today. It may seem odd that shares in network carriers like United are soaring after another airline, Spirit Airlines, released an SEC filing warning that it has doubts about being able to stay in business, but that's probably the reason for the surge in United and others like Delta and American Airlines. What Spirit said and why it matters to United Airlines Digging into the SEC filing, Spirit's management said "minimum liquidity covenants in the Company's debt obligations and credit card processing agreement require financial results to improve at a rate faster than what the Company is currently anticipating." This is a very worrying development and speaks to the distinct possibility of Spirit not surviving. That might be good news for United as it would reduce capacity in the domestic marketplace. In addition, while low-cost carrier Spirit and United are not direct competitors, the low-cost fares from Spirit do pull down the ticket pricing in United's main cabin. If Spirit does go under, it would further validate the idea that the network carriers are simply better equipped, in the current environment, to deal with market conditions, as their pricing acts as more of a cushion to tolerate rising airport and labor costs. United and Delta are doing a great job of diversifying their revenue streams through focusing on premium cabin revenue, highly successful co-branded credit cards, and loyalty programs that engender repeat custom from high-income earners. It's a model that's working and cushioning the notorious cyclicality of their businesses. Do the experts think United Airlines is a buy right now?

China's Credit Market Just Did Something It Hasn't in 20 Years -- Here's What It Means for Investors
New loan issuance in China just turned negative for the first time in nearly two decades. According to data released Wednesday by the People's Bank of China, yuan-denominated loans fell by 49.9 billion yuan ($7 billion) in Julystunningly missing the median forecast of a 300 billion yuan increase. This isn't just a soft patch. It's the first monthly contraction since July 2005. The drop wasn't due to tighter policy, but net repayments. Borrowershouseholds and businesses alikeare choosing to pay down debt instead of taking on more, suggesting confidence in future growth is weakening. Government stimulus so far hasn't been enough to reverse that mindset. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with AMD. Behind the headline number is a deeper chill. Short-term consumer credit is collapsing, with households repaying a net 383 billion yuan of short-term loans in the first seven monthssomething we haven't seen since records began in 2009. Medium- and long-term loans, usually more stable, also took a hit in July. Even corporate borrowing turned negative for the first time since 2016. On the surface, aggregate financing rose 1.2 trillion yuan, helped by strong government bond issuance. But even that missed expectations. The broader read: demand for credit isn't just weakit's deteriorating, even as nominal GDP growth hits its lowest post-pandemic level since data collection began in 1993. Policymakers appear cautious, but cracks are widening. Beijing just announced interest subsidies on select consumer loans to nudge borrowers back into action. Still, analysts expect real monetary easing won't kick in until Q4possibly more rate cuts or lower reserve requirements. Until then, the economy looks stuck in a loop of deflation and deleveraging. That's not a great setup for risk assets tied to Chinese consumers. Investors in China-exposed names like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) might want to brace for weaker tailwinds from the mainland, at least for now. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
