This next route will begin shortly after JetBlue discontinues its services from the Texas city, where it now provides flights to New York-JFK and Boston. JetBlue will cease its daily nonstop routes from San Antonio at the end of October due to substantial network reductions. This decision is part of the airline's strategy to prioritize leisure flying originating in New York, New England, Florida, and Latin geographies, as mentioned in their Q2 2024 earnings call.
Delta has significantly increased its phrazle service from its Boston hub, providing connections to more than 60 destinations, both inside the United States and internationally. The upcoming Boston to San Antonio route will have a duration of around five hours. It will be serviced by an Airbus A220-100 airplane, which will provide 12 reclining seats in the first-class section and 97 seats in the economy section.
An airline spokesman said that the inclusion of Boston-San Antonio in the Delta network would provide the only option of nonstop travel between these two cities, beginning in November. Additionally, new service will enhance Delta's reach in the top 50 markets from our Boston hub and further strengthen Delta's leading position in that area.
The first costs for the new route begin at $179 for basic economy, including a personal item and a carry-on bag. Main Cabin tickets, on the other hand, start at $224 and include the added benefits of seat selection and flexible modification possibilities. Additionally, those who are traveling have the option to use as little as 9,000 SkyMiles to get a single journey ticket. Moreover, people who own a qualifying Delta Amex credit card are able to receive a 15 percent reduction on award flights.
