OREANDA-NEWS. August 16, 2016. Delta is expanding in Boston with new service to San Francisco and Nashville, as well as more flights to Seattle and Milwaukee. By the end of 2016, Delta will be the only U.S. global carrier* to offer first class seating on every flight to and from Boston.

By June 2017, Delta will have added more than 22 percent more seat capacity versus June 2014.  

“We’re seeing growing demand for business travel between Boston and key markets like San Francisco, Nashville, Seattle and Milwaukee,” said Joe Esposito, Delta’s Vice President–Network Planning. “We’re meeting that demand with our industry-leading operational performance as well as innovative products and service. And as Boston plays a larger role in Delta’s overall network portfolio, the local community should expect to see additional investments as well.”

  • Two daily flights to San Francisco International Airport – the largest market from Boston – using a Boeing 757-200 aircraft.
  • One daily flight to Nashville International Airport using a two-class, 76-seat CRJ-900 operated by Delta Connection carrier Endeavor Air. Delta will offer the only first class service in the market.

Additionally, Delta will add holiday service between Boston and Fort Myers from Dec. 22-Jan. 2 using a two-class, 76-seat Embraer E-175 aircraft operated by Delta Connection carrier Shuttle America.

Expanded and convenient schedules
