Guess who's been flying from SYD to LAX for 15 years?

Gimme a D (D), gimme an E (E), gimme an L (L), gimme a T (T), gimme an A (A); what have you got? DELTA! While you don't need to be a US high school cheerleader to holler about Delta Air Lines' flying from Australia for 15 years, you'll no doubt be amped to join the cheer. And staying in the spirit of high school, we've got a little bit of gossip that you - as a cool kid - will definitely want to be in the know about.

Fifteen years of ensuring Australians get from Sydney to the United States with care, comfort, and safety is no mean feat.

Delta Air Lines has shown thousands and thousands of us what travelling the Delta Air Lines way means, connecting us to 290 destinations on six continents.

Happy 4th July, Delta!

Launching a new service from Australia to the United States in 2009 gave us Aussies more independence and choice in reaching the travel hotspots in the States.

Who knew that the number one song 15 years ago – the Black Eyed Peas I Got a Feeling – would be a musical form of foretelling. We all had a feeling that Delta Air Lines would be sticking around!

Coming soon BNE-LAX

We’ve also got a feeling that Queenslanders will love the news that from 6 December, they can fly direct from BNE-LAX three times weekly. What better way to celebrate 15 years of exemplary service than by extending it to even more Aussies!

Come December, Queenslanders will be able to experience one of four product experiences aboard an A350-900: Delta One Suites, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin. With a capacity of 306 passengers per flight, there’s ample room for your clients to choose the best fit for their budget and trip goals.

The goss

Nerd alert: Karryon’s got the goss on a US fam with deets dropping soon!

That’s not all there is to be excited about. Rumour is there’s a little something-something brewing at Delta HQ. Let’s just say there’s a fam trip incentive coming any day now that will make you squeal like a high schooler finding out out they made the cheer squad when you see what it entails.

This is not high school gossip. Repeat, this is not high school gossip. Think of our intel as coming from the school newspaper nerds (that would be us) who sit quietly in the back of the class and hear everything.

You know you’ll hear it here first, so keep checking back for more details real soon.
