Delta says it will also offer two flights from Venice to Atlanta – resuming its nonstop service later this month and adding a second service throughout the summer. In total, Delta will operate 17 weekly flights between Venice and the U.S. during peak season.
The airline seeks to capitalize on the growing demand following recent news that large cruise ship visits to Venise are going to be restricted and the city barring entry to tourists on certain peak weekends and ket dates.
“This summer Delta is offering customers increased choice of flying between Venice and the U.S. with our New York service and enhanced Atlanta services, the world’s leading hub,” said Matteo Curcio, Delta’s Senior Vice President for Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India. “
Camillo Bozzolo, Aviation Development Director of the SAVE Group commented: “The resumption of Delta Air Lines connections to the hubs of New York and Atlanta confirms the constant growth of flows between Venice and North America, which with over one million passengers in the last year have largely exceeded the volumes of 2019.”
Delta’s summer 2024 schedule between New York, JFK and Venice will operate in cooperation with its European partners Air France, KLM and Virgin Atlantic and is as follows:
Venice – New York JFK
Flight number | Departs | Arrives | Frequency |
DL 288 | New York JFK departs 8.55 p.m. | Venice arrives 10.15 a.m. (next day) | Daily |

Venice's history is as deep as its canals. Founded in the 5th century, it rose to prominence as a maritime power in the 10th century. The city's wealth and influence peaked during the Renaissance when it became a centre of art, trade, and architecture. Today, Venice's rich history is evident in its grand structures and numerous museums, preserving the legacy of its illustrious past.
Wonderful architectural....
The heart of Venice is the iconic Piazza San Marco, home to the majestic St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace. The basilica, with its gilded domes and intricate mosaics, is a testament to Venice's Byzantine influences. The Doge's Palace, once the seat of Venetian power, showcases Gothic and Renaissance elements, reflecting the city's political and cultural evolution.
Art and heritage....
Art thrives in Venice. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection houses modern masterpieces, while the Gallerie dell'Accademia displays Venetian art from the 14th to 19th centuries. Venice's contribution to the art world is undeniable, with native sons like Titian and Tintoretto leaving an indelible mark on the Renaissance.
Culinary creations....
Venetian cuisine is a hidden treasure, with dishes that embody the city's history and geography. Seafood is a staple, reflecting Venice's connection to the sea. Traditional fare like "risi e bisi" (rice and peas) and "fegato alla veneziana" (Venetian-style liver) are must-tries for any food enthusiast.
