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.”

My dad is a diehard New England sports fan, and as a kid, I often worried I'd have to perform CPR on him whenever the Bruins, Patriots, or Red Sox were on television. As livid as a Viking berserker, the old man would leap off the sofa to coach Tom Brady from the living room or rain down curses upon the Yankees. Our cocker spaniel, Fenway, instinctively fled the room whenever my father reached for the remote. The stress of it all, plus the fact that I was missing episodes of South Park, soured me on professional sports.

I finally came around in my thirties, less for the sports themselves than for the spectacle and revelry. I can't name more than two Knicks players, but I had a blast watching the NBA Finals with my buddies at bars across New York. The nuances of Formula 1 are about as intelligible to me as multivariable calculus, but that didn't stop me from partying my face off on a press trip to the Miami Grand Prix. I also write about luxury watches, spirits, and travel—all of which dovetail rather nicely with grand athletic extravaganzas.

Savannah Beyond the Postcard
Take a look at one of the greatest southern cities from a different perspective.
Architecture, Building, Spire

Savannah is one of those cities that seems almost too easy to like. The live oaks are dramatic. The Spanish moss does exactly what it is supposed to do. The brick sidewalks buckle in all the right places. The houses look like they were designed by people who understood proportion, shade, and the value of a proper front step. Even the light seems to arrive with better manners than it does in most places.

I have a built-in advantage when it comes to Savannah. We have family there, so we have been back several times, not just once for the checklist version of the city. I have also done a photography workshop there, which is a terrific way to learn any city. You get up early, stay out late, and pay attention to alleys, doorways, ironwork, reflections, and the way a city changes when the tourists are still asleep.

I spent 72 hours in London with only a carry-on. Here’s how I did it in style
Luxury travel doesn't require a checked bag
London

Somewhere between the baggage claim carousel and the Elizabeth Line, I realized I'd already won. As passengers from my Norwegian flight to London crowded around the conveyor belt waiting for checked luggage to appear, I was already on my way into the city. Twenty minutes later, I was headed toward central London with nothing more than a carry-on suitcase and a backpack. I've become a bit of a carry-on evangelist over the past few years. Not because I'm trying to prove some minimalist point or because I enjoy seeing how few shirts I can survive with. I just genuinely think it's the better way to travel, especially for a long weekend in Europe.

My recent 72-hour trip from Copenhagen to London wasn't exactly a backpacker's itinerary. It included a stay at one of London's nicest luxury hotels, rooftop cocktails, dinners worth dressing up for, and plenty of walking through Soho, Covent Garden, and the rest of central London. Somehow, everything I needed fit inside my Travelpro Platinum Elite Slim Cabin Hardshell Spinner V2, with a backpack holding my flight essentials.
