BOSTON, Mass. — Travelers at Boston Logan International Airport will get a new way to reach Iceland next spring. Delta Air Lines plans daily nonstop flights between Boston and Reykjavik starting April 12, 2027, and tickets went on sale this weekend.
The route is seasonal. Delta says the Iceland flights will run through Oct. 30, using a Boeing 757-200 offering three classes of seating, from Delta Main up through Delta Comfort to Delta Premium Select.
Beyond its own nonstops, Delta points Boston customers to its airline partners, including Air France, KLM and Virgin Atlantic, for connections to hundreds of other European cities. The carrier is also stretching its overall transatlantic season next year, starting some popular routes earlier in the spring and keeping others flying later into fall and winter.
Reykjavik becomes the airline’s 14th long-haul destination out of Boston, counting the busy summer schedule, and its 16th international destination from the city. Delta, which calls itself the largest carrier at Logan, pitches Boston as its closest U.S. hub to Europe, a natural jumping-off point for New England travelers heading across the Atlantic.
The Iceland flights are not the only new option. Delta will also start flying from Boston to Venice four times a week beginning May 7, 2027, with that service running through Oct. 29. Both routes are part of a larger 2027 transatlantic expansion that also adds Detroit to Athens and Austin to Paris.
The airline has flown to Iceland before. In June 2011 it began nonstop service from New York’s JFK to Reykjavik, which Delta says made it the first U.S. carrier to offer scheduled nonstop flights to the country. Boston travelers have until now needed other carriers or a connection to make that trip on Delta.
