Travelers have new flight options for winter getaways later this year. Delta Air Lines introduced 14 new flight routes that include popular vacation destinations including Nashville; Orlando, Florida; and Palm Springs, California. Sun-seekers planning to visit Orlando will have new seasonal offerings from Grand Rapids, Michigan (GRR), Kansas City, Missouri (MCI), Nashville (BNA), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (PIT), and Indianapolis (IND). The routes will operate on Saturdays only between Dec. 20 and April 11, 2026. All of the flights will be operated on Embraer E175 aircraft. Orlando has become a popular destination for families looking to explore the expansive resorts, such as the Four Seasons Resort and Waldorf Astoria Orlando. Orlando and the surrounding region are also home to theme parks such as Walt Disney World and Legoland Florida. In addition to the Orlando routes, the Atlanta-based airline will also operate on Saturdays between Austin (AUS) and Palm Springs, California (PSP), with the service starting and ending on the same dates as the Orlando routes. The Coachella Valley, home to Palm Springs, La Quinta, and Indio, is home to a variety of hotels and experiences such as the newly renovated La Quinta Resort, Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs, and the newly opened Palm Springs Surf Club, which features seven-foot waves. The airline will also begin new service between New York City's LaGuardia International Airport (LGA) and Huntsville, Alabama (HSV), on April 14. Delta also recently announced several limited-time flight routes for college football fans. The airline will operate special sections as city to city flights for fans to easily catch their favorite games, such as a route from Austin (AUS), home of the Texas Longhorns, to Columbus, Ohio, home of the Ohio State Buckeyes for the Aug. 30 game. Other games include LSU at Vanderbilt on Oct. 18, Tennessee at Florida on Nov. 22, and LSU at Oklahoma on Nov. 29. A full listing of the college football routes is available on Delta's website.
