While the five routes that will begin for the first time are already known, it is worth summarizing them collectively. Note that this article excludes all domestic routes by the carrier, even if they exceed 3,000 miles (4,828 km), the long-haul cut-off point, such as Delta’s new Boston-Honolulu service.
Delta’s long-haul international flights are from 12 US airports. In order of the year’s departures, they are New York JFK, Atlanta, Detroit, Seattle, Minneapolis, Boston, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Honolulu, Portland (OR), Cincinnati, and Orlando. Las Vegas is excluded as it only had a few conference-related flights to Amsterdam, Paris CDG, and Seoul Incheon.

They include services to Tel Aviv and Shanghai. As United resumed Newark-Tel Aviv on March 6 and has brought forward the return of Los Angeles-Shanghai from October to August, Delta will probably return them as planned. However, government figures shows that tourism to Israel is 82% lower than it was, no doubt significantly impacting United’s performance, which may, in turn, impact Delta’s resumption.
From Mir at FlightBeam Studios. I don't think there is a day that goes by without an email or message asking about KSFO. I really appreciate the huge amount of interest.
