Delta uncorks the perfect pairing: Porto, Portugal to New York

Set along the banks of the Douro River, Porto blends old-world charm with modern vibrance. Its colorful waterfront, winding cobblestone streets and striking azulejo-tiled churches invite discovery at every turn. The city is also a culinary capital, known for fresh Atlantic seafood, northern Portuguese specialties, and the port wine cellars that have made Porto famous worldwide.

Beyond the city, travelers can journey into the rolling vineyards of the Douro Valley or unwind along the golden beaches of Portugal's northern coast. Whether it's sipping a glass of port at sunset, exploring the city's thriving arts scene, or experiencing its warm hospitality, Porto offers something unforgettable for every traveler.

With the addition of Porto, Delta builds on its existing service to Portugal. The airline already connects the U.S. to Lisbon with daily year-round service from New York-JFK and seasonal daily service from Boston, giving customers even more choice when traveling to the Iberian Peninsula.

Your path to Porto

Travelers to Porto will depart from Delta's hub at New York's JFK Airport, where the airline operates over 200 peak-day departures to more than 100 destinations.

Delta One® customers can begin their journey in the Delta One Lounge. With serene design, gourmet dining, premium beverages and attentive service, the lounge sets the tone for what's ahead.

On board the Boeing 767-300, customers will enjoy four product experiences: Delta One®, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort and Delta Main.

Delta One® offers lie-flat seats, chef-curated meals and Missoni-designed amenity kits, paired with Taittinger champagne. Delta Premium Select provides wider seats with deeper recline and enhanced amenities for a more spacious and relaxing journey.  

Across all cabins, customers benefit from thoughtful dining, hours of entertainment with Delta Studio, and fast, free Delta Sync Wi-Fi presented by T-Mobile for SkyMiles Members.

Building on momentum across the Atlantic

Delta is charting its most expansive trans-Atlantic schedule yet, with the launch of Porto, Portugal marking the latest milestone in a wave of European growth.

This momentum includes new nonstop service from Boston to Madrid and Nice, enhanced flights to Barcelona and Milan, and fresh direct routes from Seattle to Barcelona and Rome.

Connectivity to Ireland is also getting a boost, with three additional weekly flights between Detroit and Dublin.

Adding to the excitement, Sardinia and Malta, recently selected by SkyMiles Members and Delta employees in the Route Race, will debut from JFK.

Whether it's Porto or one of the many remarkable destinations now on Delta's map, Europe has never felt closer.
