Delta’s 2026 summer Saturday network play
Delta is stacking its weekends next summer with 13 new Saturday-only routes plus 30+ returning seasonal services across the US, Caribbean, Mexico, and Canada. Most of the new flying is timed for peak leisure demand between May/June and September/October 2026, and almost all of it is point-to-point over hubs to free up mainline lift.
Austin (AUS): three new Saturday routes
Starting June 13, 2026, Delta will add three Saturday-only routes from its growing Austin focus city, all on Delta Connection Embraer E175s (76 seats, 12F / 20 Comfort+ / 44 Main):
-
AUS–BZN (Bozeman Yellowstone, MT) – BZN
-
AUS–FCA (Kalispell / Glacier Park, MT) – FCA
-
AUS–VPS (Destin–Fort Walton Beach, FL) – VPS
All three will be operated by SkyWest for Delta.
Atlanta (ATL): Caribbean + Canada on Saturdays
Delta will layer in weekend flying from ATL to:
-
Grenada (GND)
-
St. Vincent & the Grenadines (SVD)
-
Vancouver, Canada (YVR)
These pair well with Delta’s existing winter sun network and give Southeast travelers one-stop-less options.
Boston (BOS): two sun routes
From BOS, Delta adds Saturday-only summer flying to:
-
Aruba (AUA)
-
Nassau, Bahamas (NAS)
Los Angeles (LAX): mountain + Montana
From LAX, Delta will fly Saturdays to:
-
Jackson Hole, WY (JAC)
-
Bozeman, MT (BZN)
Both will be operated by SkyWest E175s, matching the pattern elsewhere.
Seattle (SEA): southwest add
From SEA, Delta adds a Saturday E175 to:
-
Albuquerque, NM (ABQ) – ABQ
Also SkyWest-operated.
New York–LaGuardia (LGA): Florida Panhandle + Bahamas
From slot-constrained LGA, Delta will still carve out weekend leisure:
-
LGA–VPS (Destin–Fort Walton Beach, FL) – operated by Republic E175
-
LGA–NAS (Nassau, Bahamas)
Returning seasonal routes
Delta also plans to bring back a large slate of summer Saturday routes, including (highlights):
-
From ATL: TVC, RAP, BGR, CUR, STX, RTB, ANU, BON, SKB
-
From BOS: MYR, BZN, ILM, AVL, TVC
-
From DTW: BGR, BZN, PUJ, VPS, PNS
-
From LGA: ECP (Panama City, FL)
-
From JFK: BZN, CUN, SXM, PLS
-
From MSP: JAC, AVL, SJU, SRQ, ILM
-
From SEA: PVR
Aircraft & operators
-
Most of the new routes: Embraer E175 (SkyWest, Republic)
-
Mainland leisure / Caribbean: mix of mainline narrowbodies and high-gauge RJs, depending on demand and stage length
-
All are Saturday-only to protect business schedules Monday–Friday.
Bottom line
Delta is using Saturdays in summer 2026 to widen its leisure footprint without tying up weekday hub capacity — especially from AUS, ATL, BOS, LAX, SEA, and NYC — and is restoring more than 30 proven seasonal routes on top of the 13 brand-new ones.
