Delta Air Lines is bringing back its winter seasonal service from its Detroit hub to one of the most popular Caribbean destinations.


Delta confirmed that it'll launch a new non-stop flight on December 21st between Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) and Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) in the Bahamas. This represents the 4th city Delta will fly to Nassau from, in addition to its existing services from major hubs at Atlanta (ATL), Boston (BOS), and New York (JFK).


It has been over 4 years since Delta operated this route, which was discontinued at the start of the pandemic. Now, travelers can book this seasonal route on Delta's website, which will run once weekly on Saturdays through April 12th, 2025, with the following schedule:

  • Detroit to Nassau: 8:30 a.m. to 11:54 a.m.
  • Nassau to Detroit: 1:14 p.m. to 4:35 p.m.

Delta's newest flight will be approximately 3 and a half hours long and will be operated on a Boeing 737-800 aircraft with 16 first-class recliner seats and 144 economy seats. Delta will be the sole airline offering non-stop flights between the two airports once this service commences.
