Delta Air Lines is doubling down on its strategy of providing weekend getaway flights to popular leisure destinations. The airline has announced that it will be adding 13 new Saturday-only routes from six of its hubs as part of its Summer 2026 schedule. The new routes are targeted at travelers "craving mountain air, coastal charm or a beachside breeze," making use of equipment that is less utilized over weekends.

Particularly notable is that Delta is continuing its relentless expansion at Austin Bergstrom International Airport , with the addition of three seasonal Saturday-only routes for the first time. The carrier will also be bringing back 30 weekend routes that proved to be popular this past summer, with average load factors of 86% .
