Delta to Launch Orange County-JFK Flights

Delta Air Lines, New York City’s leading carrier with 500 daily flights, is launching new nonstop service from JFK to Orange County, CA starting on Oct. 15.

This new flight, the only nonstop from New York to John Wayne Airport, provides another link between Southern California and the Big Apple and follows on Delta’s increased West Coast service from JFK this summer with new San Jose and increased San Diego and Seattle frequencies.

This new service will operate six times weekly (every day except Saturday) along the following schedule and will be flown on Boeing 737-700 aircraft with seating for 12 in First Class, 18 in Delta Comfort+ and 94 in the main cabin.
