Next year, Delta Air Lines will add five nonstop routes from Austin, Texas. With the additions, the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport will provide more options to explore the U.S., with direct flights to Panama City (ECP), Memphis (MEM), San Francisco (SFO), Tampa (TPA), and Indianapolis (IND). The first flights will begin in March 2025, with further add-ons in May and June.

The new routes result from Delta listening to Austin’s needs and providing more ways to fly in and out of the popular city. The new routes start in March 2025 with service to Panama City, Florida, then continue rolling out in May and June, with flights to Memphis, Indianapolis, San Francisco, and Tampa.

The new flights begin on the following dates:

  • Panama City, FL (ECP): March 9
  • Memphis, TN (MEM): May 7
  • Indianapolis, IN (IND): May 7
  • San Francisco, CA (SFO): June 8
  • Tampa, FL (TPA): June 8

The Panama City route uses an Embraer E175 regional jet, operated by Delta Connection carrier SkyWest, with First Class, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin. The Memphis and Indianapolis flights use the same setup. The San Francisco and Tampa flights will be aboard an Airbus A220-300, First Class, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin, in a 2×3 seating configuration (50% less middle seats). 

Joe Esposito, Delta’s S.V.P. – Network Planning, commented: “Delta has made its commitment to Austin known, and these new routes and the 55 peak-day departures planned for Summer 2025 reaffirm that. This is on top of the already 20% seat capacity increase we put into service in April connecting Austin to new destinations in major corporate and leisure markets both within Texas and outside the state — onward throughout our global network.”

klm royal dutch airlines new seating class premium economy

After a two year process, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has completed the installation of a new seating class, Premium Comfort Class. The rollout is the largest product change for the airline in years, with every Boeing 787 and 777 outfitted with the class. It’s an intermediate seating class available on long haul flights, sitting neatly between Economy Class and World Business Class, offering more luxury and comfort than the former, at a lower price than the latter. Premium Comfort Class is designed for both business and leisure travelers.
Installing the Premium Comfort Class was an involved process

To date, 54 aircraft have been equipped with Premium Comfort Class. The maintenance division of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines completed installation on all 787s a year and a half ago. Outfitting aircraft with the new class took about four to 16 days to complete. To make that happen, technicians worked through day and night. Today, all 777 aircraft also have Premium Comfort Class installed.
