Delta Air Lines is set to reignite its connection to Amsterdam from Tampa, marking a significant move for travelers seeking a taste of Dutch delights.
Scheduled to commence on October 26, Delta will inaugurate daily service between Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) and Tampa International Airport (TPA). The route will be serviced by an Airbus A330-300 aircraft throughout the winter season.
This new offering will complement Delta’s existing winter seasonal service between Amsterdam and nearby Orlando. Moreover, Delta maintains year-round routes to Amsterdam from key U.S. cities such as Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, Minneapolis, New York, Portland, Salt Lake City, and Seattle.
Matteo Curcio, Delta’s senior vice president for Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India, emphasized the significance of this connection, stating, “By seamlessly linking Amsterdam’s vibrant international hub — Delta’s most-served airport in Europe — with Tampa Bay’s renowned beaches, Delta is offering customers a gateway to explore the best of Europe and America.”
Passengers aboard Delta’s Tampa flights will have access to a range of seating options, including the premium Delta One featuring lie-flat beds and bedding crafted from recycled plastic bottles, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+, and Main Cabin seats.
Beyond this development, Delta is extending its international flight network by reinstating nonstop flights from New York to Nigeria on December 1, expanding nonstop service to Venice, and introducing new service to Australia.
Florida-based travelers are not limited to Delta’s offerings alone, with options to Europe available through the airline’s SkyTeam partners. These include flights between Miami and Paris on KLM and Air France, flights from Miami, Orlando, and Tampa to London on Virgin Atlantic, and flights from Orlando to Manchester, also operated by Virgin Atlantic.
This expansion coincides with Delta’s adoption of a new number-based boarding system, aimed at enhancing clarity and efficiency in the boarding process.
