Delta adds 4 routes to largest-ever Latin America schedule
Delta Air Lines is seemingly convinced that it's going to be a cold and dreary winter.
The Atlanta-based carrier unveiled yet another expansion to warm-weather destinations for the winter season. This includes two brand-new routes, as well as two route resumptions. All of the added flights will operate once weekly on Saturdays, a carrier spokesperson confirmed to TPG.
In terms of new routes, the airline will add service from Detroit to Providenciales in Turks and Caicos and from Boston to Liberia, Costa Rica.

The new Turks and Caicos connection begins Dec. 21, just in time for the peak winter holidays. Providenciales will become Delta's fourth Caribbean destination from Detroit, Cirium schedules show, joining existing service to Montego Bay, Jamaica; Punta Cana, Dominican Republic; and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Delta's new Boston-to-Liberia flight takes off Jan. 11 and will give travelers access to Costa Rica's Guanacaste province, which is popular with tourists looking to explore the country's natural beauty.
Delta will also resume service from New York to Antigua and St. Kitts on Jan. 11. These flights haven't operated since 2021 and 2020, respectively, Cirium schedules show.
All of these new and resuming routes join Delta's previously announced expansions in Latin America for the upcoming winter season. Earlier this year, the airline added four new destinations in the region, all taking off in the coming months. These new destinations include Bridgetown, Barbados; Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic; and Mazatlan and Tulum, Mexico.
Furthermore, over the weekend, Delta will also load daily flights from Atlanta to Cartagena, Colombia, up from the existing three-times-weekly schedule that's currently being sold in this market. Delta's other recent frequency increases to Latin America are already available for sale on its website and are listed below based on peak-winter timetables.

This winter, Delta plans another 5% boost in capacity, making this the largest-ever schedule the airline has offered to the region.
