Madrid will launch on 16th May, while Nice will commence operations on 17th May.
The service to Madrid will operate daily, while the service to Nice will fly three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. These routes will both operate with an Airbus A330-900neo.
Onboard, there will be four product experiences for passengers – Delta One (Business Class), Premium Select (Premium Economy), Comfort+ (Extra space economy) and Economy Class. Across all products, travellers benefit from curated dining and Delta Studio entertainment, and SkyMiles members can enjoy fast, free Wi-Fi powered by T-Mobile.
Further enhancing this network, Delta’s expanded service to Barcelona and Milan adds even more options for Boston travellers. Daily flights to Barcelona begin 7th May, and four-times-weekly service to Milan starts 16th May, both launching earlier than last year to better align with seasonal demand and provide greater flexibility.
With these new connections, Delta will fly to 12 European destinations in Summer 2026. In the span of two decades, Delta has nearly tripled its service in Boston, growing from 25 to approximately 70 destinations worldwide.

More options for a European summer

For passengers, it offers more choice for those who wish to connect and direct flights for those flying out of Boston.
And more options are a good thing.
