Delta is launching a new seasonal service linking Austin and Palm Springs, California.
A statement released by Austin-Bergstrom International Airport on Monday said Delta will fly non-stop to Palm Springs starting on Nov. 8, in time for the fall and winter travel seasons, when trips to the desert resort city traditionally peak. The route will run through April 26, 2026.
Flights will depart Austin at 11 a.m. local time each Saturday via regional carrier Delta Connection and arrive in Palm Springs around 1 p.m. local time. Flights from Palm Springs to Austin will take off at 12:07 p.m. local time each Saturday and touch down at 5:07 p.m. local time.
Delta’s website shows the route will be flown with an Embraer E175.
“We’re so grateful to our partners at Delta for supporting our community’s air service needs through another new nonstop route,” said Austin-Bergstrom CEO Ghizlane Badawi. “This new destination expands travel opportunities for both business and leisure travelers and we are excited to offer more convenient options for our passengers.”
American had flown non-stop between Austin and Palm Springs, but that route was scrapped last year, together with non-stop flights from Austin to Las Vegas, New Orleans, Orlando, and Reno, Nevada.
Delta is also launching a series of non-stop flights from Austin during the 2025 college football season on dates when the University of Texas at Austin plays away games. The carrier will fly to Columbus, Ohio on Aug. 30, Gainesville, Florida on Oct. 4, Lexington, Kentucky on Oct. 18, Atlanta on Nov. 15, and Benton County, Arkansas on Nov. 22.
