U.S. airline offering up to three daily nonstop flights from Scotland
A new nonstop link between Scotland and the southern United States is opening this spring, as U.S. carrier, Delta Air Lines, starts a new route from Edinburgh to Atlanta, Georgia. Starting 26 May, the new flight complements the airline’s existing schedule of daily nonstop services to New York-JFK. Meanwhile, Delta’s flight from Edinburgh to Boston resumes on 9 May, offering even more chances to get away to the United States for business or leisure.
Unrivalled options
With nonstop services to three U.S. gateways, Delta offers onward connections to more destinations across the United States and beyond than any other airline from Scotland. This includes one-stop connections to the west coast cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco or the national parks of the Mountain West region, while the beaches and world-famous theme parks of Florida are only a short hop from Atlanta.
The U.S. is the top market for international inbound visitors to Scotland, with Americans accounting for 18% of all international visits in 2019. Delta’s Atlanta flight will provide access for thousands of Americans looking to enjoy Scotland’s historic cities, scenery, golf and outdoor activities, boosting the local economy.
A seat for every style
Delta’s fleet of new and recently refurbished aircraft feature up to four cabin experiences. From fully flat-bed seats with individual aisle access in Delta One® to added extras in Delta Comfort+® and a Main Cabin seat with special touches – there’s an experience for every traveller.
Delta One customers enjoy chef-curated menus that can be pre-selected up to three days in advance of travel. Created using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, Delta One meals are accompanied by a selection of hand-picked fine wines. Luxuriously soft bedding is made using 100% recycled materials and hand-crafted artisanal amenity kits help reduce single-use plastic waste and feature travel essentials by clean beauty brand, Grown Alchemist.
On the ground, Delta One customers enjoy access to airport loungess and SkyPriority® services, including check in, boarding and baggage handling, to help expedite their airport experience.
Delta Premium Select is a new superior cabin designed with enhanced comfort in mind. Wider seats offer more legroom and a deeper recline, with adjustable leg- and footrests, to help customers find the perfect position to put their feet up. Dedicated overhead storage ensures carry-on items are kept within easy reach.
After take-off, a ‘bubbles and bites’ moment is followed by a deliciously enhanced dining experience and when it’s time to sleep, customers can stretch out with a comfortable blanket and memory foam pillow. An artisan-made amenity kit includes essentials such as a toothbrush and toothpaste, eyeshade and ear plugs.
Nonstop connectivity
As well as convenient connections via its U.S. hubs, Delta keeps customers connected throughout their flight with high-speed Wi-Fi on demand and free mobile messaging via iMessage, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. Each customer has access to in-seat power, so they can keep electronic devices fully charged.
Seat-back entertainment screens at every seat feature 1,000+ hours of Delta Studio® movies, TV shows and specially curated Spotify podcasts and playlists. Taking in-flight wellbeing to new heights, Delta also offers exclusive ‘Classes in the Clouds’, a collection of guided meditation and stretches led by Peloton instructors.
Travel innovation
To make travel smoother across their journey, the Fly Delta app is packed with handy features such as flight status updates, wayfinding maps, upgrades, rebooking and more to enable customers to manage their travel on the go. The app offers a virtual queuing tool, so customers know exactly when to head to the gate and even syncs to the RFID bag tags on checked bags, so customers can pinpoint their suitcase’s location.
Concourse F in Delta’s Atlanta hub is home to the first biometric terminal in the United States. Customers can opt to use Delta’s ground-breaking biometric technology to check-in, drop their bags, clear security and board their flights, and international arrivals can opt to use the technology to clear Customs and Border Protection.
