Delta’s service from Austin to Memphis — the only nonstop link between the two cities — and Indianapolis will begin May 7, providing seamless connections to two key business and cultural travel destinations. Customers traveling to Memphis will enjoy quick access to iconic Beale Street and can decide for themselves which city has the best barbecue, while the route to Indianapolis creates additional opportunities for business travel. In addition to being popular with business travelers, these new routes will also provide greater connectivity for customers in Memphis and Indianapolis looking to travel to Austin. Both daily flights will be operated by Delta Connection carrier SkyWest on an Embraer ERJ-175 equipped with First Class, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin.  

JUNE ADDITIONS: BICOASTAL DELIGHTS 

On June 8, Delta will round out its latest expansion with new, nonstop service to San Francisco (SFO) and Tampa (TPA). The route between Austin and San Francisco will unite two of the largest and most influential tech and innovation cities in the country. Meanwhile, the Austin-Tampa route will give Austin customers more ways to access Florida’s stunning Gulf Coast and one of the nation’s growing business destinations.  

These daily flights will be operated on Delta’s state-of-the-art Airbus A220-300 aircraft equipped with First Class, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin. The A220-300 aircraft is set up in a 2×3 configuration, meaning there are 50% fewer middle seats. Additionally, the aircraft has large windows and expanded overhead bins. SkyMiles customers traveling onboard this aircraft will also have access to fast, free Wi-Fi onboard. Together with seat back in-flight entertainment, this aircraft is perfect for business travelers who want to be productive, as well as customers who want to sit back and relax and enjoy 1,000+ hours of entertainment content.
