Flown by Delta
Delta Air Lines is expanding its transatlantic footprint with a new seasonal service connecting Boston Logan International Airport to Nice Côte d'Azur Airport. Starting in the summer of 2026, travelers from New England can fly directly to the heart of the French Riviera without the need for a connection.
This route connects the Northeastern United States to the Mediterranean coast of France. Operating three times weekly, it utilizes the state-of-the-art Airbus A330-900neo, offering a high-end experience for vacationers and business travelers heading to Nice, Cannes, or Monaco.
“As a new addition for the 2026 season, this flight provides a critical direct link between Boston's growing international hub and one of Europe's most prestigious summer destinations, bypassing traditional layovers in Paris or Amsterdam.”
