Delta is tackling the globe yet again, adding to their already impressive portfolio where seemingly no destination is unreachable.

That being said, it’s kinda surprising to learn there are still major U.S. cities lacking connectivity to Cancun on one of Americans’ favorite airlines, but Delta is set to change that.

Additionally, there is another exciting country Delta is venturing into for the first time, and I had the pleasure of visiting last fall.

Spoiler alert: it’s one of the most culturally captivating cities I’ve ever been to, and I enjoyed it so much it tops my list as my go-to digital nomad destination if I ever build up the courage to take the full plunge.

Delta is adding more pins to their route map on 3 continents, totaling 4 new cities Americans fly to nonstop in 2025.

Melbourne: New Long-Haul Flight To ‘The Land Down Under’

When you think of Australia, it’s likely that Sydney comes to mind…as well as multiple Crocodile Dundee quotes and a strong vendetta against sting rays for taking Steve Irwin’s life.

But despite Sydney’s global recognition, travelers often find Melbourne to be Australia’s most surprising delight as far as the country’s major cities go.

Home to beautiful beaches, such as popular St. Kilda and one-of-a-kind Brighton Beach, lined with colorful beach huts (a.k.a. “bathing boxes), this diverse cultural hub is great for those seeking outdoor adventures or urban experiences, especially if you’re a foodie or coffee lover.

Delta is making Melbourne easier to reach with a new flight launching from Los Angeles (LAX) December 2025, which is actually summer in Australia.

Cancun: Cheaper Margaritas And Caribbean Bliss

If any state can sling margaritas the right way, it’s Texas. And since all my exes live there, I’ve poured many, which is all the more reason to leave the Lone Star State if you’ve had to displeasure to know them.

Exes aside, it’s fair to say Austin has become Dallas 2.0, losing much of its notorious ‘weird’ vibe appeal in place of techy startup ventures, a packed cityscape of new high-rises, and more chains replacing independent shops and eateries.

If you’re tired of sharing what used to be empty Greenbelt trails, seeing food truck parks turned into new apartment complexes, and being stuck in traffic thanks to Californians moving here, there’s no better relaxing escape than Cancun’s vivid blue waters and luxe resorts.

Delta is launching new daily service from Austin (AUS) to Cancun December 20, 2025 through an undetermined date in April 2026.

In case you missed it: Delta is also launching a new flight this spring to Punta Cana, one of the prettiest resort towns in the Caribbean.

Adventure Awaits In 2 African Cities

Africa isn’t on everyone’s Bingo card for 2025, but don’t let mainstream news dictate where you go, spoiling your sense of adventure.

Yes, Africa is home to some very poor and downright dangerous regions, but just like Mexico, a favorite for Americans to vacation, negative headlines shouldn’t be a blanket statement for anywhere.

Plus, even destinations like Cape Town have managed to make a comeback after being considered super sketchy in recent years.

But we’re not here to sell you on Cape Town or anywhere else, but what I can attest to personally is Marrakesh, Morrocco’s bustling capital city is the perfect gateway into Africa.

Largely English-speaking, friendly, welcoming, and providing a sensory overload of sights of timeless mosques and palaces, sounds of call to prayer and snake charmers, and various aromas through the maze of souks encapsulate a trip you’ll never forget.

While there are numerous direct flights to Marrakesh, the reality is we prefer to fly U.S.-based airlines.

Delta is launching its first-ever route to Marrakesh from Atlanta (ATL) October 25, 2025.

Additionally, Delta is adding a new seasonal service to Accra, Ghana, one of Africa’s safest destinations and an excellent place to book a safari or simply enjoy Ghana’s famed hospitality, whether it be exploring the sites of Accra or visiting small villages off-the-beaten-path.

Delta already flies to Accra from New York, but Atlanta is clearly the big winner of the airline’s latest additions, with new flights to both Marrakesh and Accra (ACC).

The latter is slated for launch December 1, 2025.
