Delta to Bring Back Direct Flights From Detroit to Nassau

Travel

Delta Air Lines is bringing back winter seasonal service from its Detroit hub to one of the most popular Caribbean destinations.

The new nonstop flight will launch on December 21 between Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) and Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) in the Bahamas, Delta confirmed to Travel + Leisure. This represents the fourth city Delta will fly to Nassau from, in addition to existing services from major hubs at Atlanta (ATL), Boston (BOS), and New York (JFK).

It has been over four years since Delta operated this route, which was discontinued at the start of the pandemic. Travelers can now book this seasonal route on Delta’s website, which will run once weekly on Saturdays through April 12, 2025, with the following schedule:

  • Detroit to Nassau: 8:30 a.m. to 11:54 a.m.
  • Nassau to Detroit: 1:14 p.m. to 4:35 p.m.

Delta’s newest flight will be roughly three and a half hours long and will be operated on a Boeing 737-800 aircraft with 16 first-class recliner seats and 144 economy seats. Once the service begins, Delta will be the only airline to operate nonstop flights between the two airports.
