ST. LOUIS, MO (May 2, 2025): Starting Saturday, May 3, St. Louis travelers can book a future flight into New York City using John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). Delta Air Lines is adding non-stop JFK service to its St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL) schedule. Flying into JFK allows a passenger to use AirTrain JFK as a fast, easy way into Manhattan. It also provides international travelers with a variety of airline options.

Beginning September 8, 2025, Delta will operate a flight into and out of STL once a day seven days a week. The flight will depart JFK at 2:15pm and arrive at STL at 4:00pm. The flight then returns to JFK with a scheduled departure at 4:40pm and an arrival time of 8:08pm. This new Delta service will give travelers from our region convenient access to Delta's global hub at JFK, where customers can connect to more than 200 destinations in 80+ countries worldwide. For those heading into Manhattan, it's just 10 to 15 minutes on AirTrain JFK from your terminal to the Jamaica Station. From there the Long Island Railroad to Penn Station or Grand Central Station takes just 20 minutes.

In recent years, Delta Air Lines has been the third largest airline operating at STL according to the airport's market share data. Delta last operated service from STL to JFK in 2015.
