Delta ramps up Sydney-LAX to ten flights each week

Delta Air Lines is going all-in with its sole US-Australia route.

Soaring demand between Australia and the United States now sees Delta Air Lines mounting a confident ten Sydney-Los Angeles flights per week – more than even Qantas, let alone its US rivals American and United (which replaced Delta as Virgin Australia’s stateside partner).

In addition to Delta’s long-standing daily DL40, which departs Sydney at 11.20am, every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday sees the newly-minted flight DL42 wheels-up from Sydney at 2.15pm, to reach LAX at 9am, so travellers to put in a full day at LA or catch a connecting flight on the SkyTeam member’s extensive domestic US network.

Both flights feature Delta’s flagship Airbus A350, where the Delta One Suites in business class offer not only fully flat beds and direct aisle access for every passenger, but also a closing privacy door to help maximise rest on those trans-Pacific treks.

Premium economy, branded as Delta Premium Select, also appears on the A350s, providing a comfortable reclining seat with a sturdy leg-rest, ample legroom, high-definition seat-back entertainment and more, as well as complimentary inflight messaging via Delta WiFi.

As previously reported, Delta has now opened a glamorous, Hollywood-inspired Delta Sky Club lounge at Los Angeles, as part of the airline’s ambitious $2.3 billion Delta Sky Way LAX development.

The jewel of the Club is its Sky Deck, a year-round, all-weather terrace where guests can enjoy premium drinks and panoramic views of downtown Los Angeles and the Hollywood Hills.

Delta’s lounge ambitions also include a network of Delta One lounges which will be exclusive to business class passengers and designed to complement its Delta One suites in the sky – the same approach as that taken by United Airlines’ Polaris business class and lounges.

The first Delta One Club lounge will open at new York’s JFK Airport sometime in 2023, with a second to follow at LAX in 2024.
