Delta Airlines adding nonstop Hawaii flights from San Diego, Detroit in 2010
Delta Airlines is expanding its Hawaii flight schedule with daily service from San Diego, Calif. to Honolulu, and thrice-weekly nonstop service from Detroit, Mich. to Honolulu beginning in June 2010.
Delta’s new daily flights from San Diego, beginning on June 3, will be the carrier’s first between that city and Honolulu. Meanwhile, Delta’s three weekly flights between Detroit and Honolulu, beginning June 2, revives a nonstop route discontinued in 2004.
Tickets are available now for Delta’s San Diego-Honolulu flights at www.delta.com. Reservations for the carrier’s Detroit-Honolulu flights will be available for sale on Dec. 5.
