New Routes Offer More Choices for Delta Customers
The expanded winter lineup from Delta Air Lines brings good news to travelers, particularly those looking to reach the Hawaiian islands. Starting on December 19, 2026, Delta will launch a new nonstop service between Minneapolis–St. Paul and Maui.
This marks an exciting development for the Upper Midwest, offering customers a direct flight to some of the best beaches and scenic landscapes in the Valley Isle.
Adding to this, Boston travelers can now look forward to returning nonstop flights to Honolulu, connecting New England with Hawaii’s capital city. These routes are part of Delta’s most robust seasonal schedule yet, aiming to provide customers more options than ever before.
Delta Reinforces Its Position as a Leading Carrier
Delta Air Lines is no stranger to Hawaiian travel; the airline already has a strong presence with frequent flights from major U.S. hubs like Atlanta (ATL), Detroit–Warren (DTW), and New York (JFK). Now, they’re stepping it up by adding frequencies and enhancing their aircraft for an even more premium experience on these long-haul flights.
For the Minneapolis–St. Paul to Maui route, Delta will operate daily during peak holiday periods with five weekly flights through the core winter season.
These flights are set to run on Airbus A330-300 aircraft, which offer customers a lie-flat seat in Delta One and top-notch amenities like chef-curated meals and Missoni-designed products.
The Boston to Honolulu route will operate daily during peak late-December travel before transitioning to four weekly frequencies through the winter season. Again, the Airbus A330-300 will be used, ensuring a smooth and comfortable journey for New England’s travelers.
Enhanced Airports Offer Premium Experiences
Delta is not just about the flights; it’s also about the airport experience. In Boston, Delta One Lounge provides fine dining and three award-winning Sky Clubs for customers traveling in Delta One and above. Similarly, at Minneapolis–St.
Paul International Airport (MSP), customers can enjoy the Delta One Lounge with seating for more than 450 guests and an outdoor Sky Deck.
Both hubs also offer Delta One Check-In for customers flying in Delta One and TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID for eligible customers who enroll, making their journey even smoother. The Airbus A330-300 on these routes ensures a high level of comfort and convenience, with four cabin options including Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+, and Delta Main.
Planning Your Perfect Vacation to Hawaii
Delta Vacations packages make it easier than ever to plan your perfect Hawaiian getaway. Choose from flights, expertly curated hotels, transfers, activities, and more, all designed to create an ultimate paradise experience for travelers looking to explore the islands.

Plus, with an award-winning reliable operation designed to give customers greater peace of mind on their journey, there’s no better time than now to book your trip.
So, you might think this is new, but it’s part of a trend Delta has been following for years—expanding its network in Hawaii and offering premium services. As long as the economy holds steady, expect more routes like these from Delta in the future.
