Delta Launching Nonstop Service to Boston From This U.S. City

Delta Air Lines is expanding its Boston hub with a popular new domestic service from San Antonio.

Starting Monday, Nov. 11, Delta will launch daily flights between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and San Antonio International Airport (SAT). Travelers can now book this route on Delta’s website, which will operate once daily with the following schedule:

• Boston to San Antonio: 9:15 a.m. to 1:13 p.m.
• San Antonio to Boston: 2 p.m. to 7:05 p.m.

This new flight will launch just weeks after JetBlue ceases its operations from the Texas city, where it currently offers flights to New York-JFK and Boston. Following significant network reductions, JetBlue will discontinue its daily nonstop routes from San Antonio at the end of October to “refocus our network around leisure flying originating in New York, New England, Florida, and Latin geographies,” as stated during the airline’s Q2 2024 earnings call.

In recent years, Delta has expanded its service from its Boston hub to connect travelers to over 60 international and domestic destinations. The new Boston to San Antonio route will be nearly five hours long, operated by an Airbus A220-100 aircraft featuring 12 first-class recliner seats and 97 economy seats.

“The addition of Boston-San Antonio to the Delta network will provide the only nonstop access for consumers between these two cities starting in November,” an airline representative shared in a statement with T+L. “Moreover, this service will increase Delta’s coverage of top 50 markets from our Boston hub and will help build upon Delta’s #1 position there.”

One-way fares for the new route begin at $179 for basic economy, which includes a personal item and a carry-on bag, while Main Cabin tickets start at $224, offering seat selection and flexible modification options. Travelers can also use as few as 9,000 SkyMiles for a one-way ticket, and those with an eligible Delta Amex credit card can enjoy a 15 percent discount on award flights.
