Delta Air Lines will continue its global expansion, adding a long-haul flight from Boston, Massachusetts, to São Paulo, Brazil. The route will fly between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Sao Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport (GRU). The new flight follows Delta’s announcement of additional transatlantic routes for summer 2025 and more non-stop routes from Austin, Texas.

Flight DL165 from BOS to GRU departs at 9:00 a.m. and arrives at 8:45 p.m. Flight DL164 from GRU to BOS takes off at 10:45 p.m. and lands the next day at 6:40 a.m. Delta also serves São Paulo via its New York-JFK and Atlanta hubs. The flight isn’t yet available for booking. 

A spokesperson for Delta confirmed the route, saying: “From January 6 to March 27, 2025, Delta will operate flights between Boston and São Paulo-Guarulhos, a route currently served by LATAM. Customers holding tickets for this route during that period will be automatically rebooked onto Delta-operated flights with no changes to their original departure dates.”

The long-haul addition follows Delta’s continued expansion, with a larger-than-ever Atlanta schedule for summer 2025 and routes to Copenhagen and Seoul. The airline is also rolling out free Wi-Fi on some international flights and hopes to eventually offer the service on all routes.
