Delta is launching seasonal flights once per day from JFK Airport to Rio de Janeiro – famous for its beaches, its urban setting surrounded by lush nature, its rhythm of samba and bohemian vibe.
The seasonal and daily route will run from Dec. 20, just in time for the holidays, until March 27, 2025. The route will operate on the Boeing 767-300ER, with capacity for 215 passengers, offering the following options:
- Delta One: 25 spacious seats in a 1-2-1 configuration, ensuring that all customers have free access to the aisle. The seats recline 180° and become beds, and passengers are welcomed aboard with new amenity kits by the premium Italian brand Missoni, which include Grown Alchemist skin care products. In addition, Delta One passengers can enjoy a wide range of beverage options and a regularly refreshed and seasonally inspired menu created by chefs, whose main courses can be chosen in the Fly Delta app, between a week and 24 hours before the flight.
- Delta Premium Select: 18 wider seats and additional recline compared to Main Cabin, with adjustable headrests and footrests. Travelers find more locally inspired dining, more dedicated service, and the exclusive option to pre-select onboard meals, like Delta One. To enhance in-flight comfort, they also receive artisan-made amenity kits from the Mexican brand Someone Somewhere, with travel essentials.
- Delta Comfort+: 21 seats offering dedicated overhead bin space and preferred seating in the main cabin.
- Main Cabin: 151 ergonomic seats with individual entertainment screens.
