Atlanta-headquartered Delta Air Lines will be launching new flights connecting New York and Boston to Portugal and Ireland, respectively, and restarting service between New York and Berlin in late May.
Delta (NYSE:DAL) will add new daily non-stop seasonal service from New York’s John F. Kennedy International (JFK) to Lisbon’s Aeroportos Lisboa (LIS) and from Boston’s Logan International (BOS) to Dublin, Ireland (DUB) starting May 25, 2017. The BOS-DUB route will complement the airline’s existing services to DUB from JFK and Atlanta-Hartsfield International (ATL).
Also on May 25, the carrier will resume service between New York and Berlin’s Tegel Airport (TXL).
“Both [Lisbon and Berlin] have seen an increase in U.S. visitor numbers over the past several years, and Delta is pleased to help contribute to this growth through greater connectivity at JFK,” Henry Kuykendall, Delta’s Vice President-New York, said in a statement announcing the new and resuming flights.

The flights will also be available through code-share partners Air France-KLM and Alitalia.
Delta’s Dublin and Lisbon services will each be operated using a narrow body Boeing (NYSE:BA) 757-200 aircraft with 168 seats including 16 seats in Delta One, 44 Comfort + seats and 108 standard economy seats for a total of 168 seats.

The airline will operate a wide body Boeing 767-300 aircraft with 226 seats on its Berlin route. That configuration offers 26 Delta One seats, all with direct aisle access; 29 Comfort + seats and 171 standard economy seats. On that aircraft, Delta One seats are 21 inches wide with 76.5 to 81.4 inches of pitch, Comfort + seats are 17.9 inches wide with 35 inches of pitch and standard economy seats, which are also 17.9 inches wide, have from 31 to 32 inches of pitch.
