Direct flights New York – Malaga nonstop with Delta Airlines

delta airlinesEvery year Delta Air Lines used to offer direct flights without stops between New York and Malaga. The company has released an official communication stating that they will no longer offer this direct flight on summer.

With a direct flight to Malaga, even a weekend getaway or a week-long vacation without worry is possible.

Even though there is a notable interest by tourism industry in Andalusia for the connection between Malaga and New York to become constant, there is not yet any advance on this. In September the flights between the two cities are not daily anymore and there are only 3 connections weekly.

Nobody enjoys flights stops and boarding more than once on the same trip. With a direct flight to Malaga, even a weekend getaway or a week-long vacation without worry is possible.

So why not visiting Malaga? Are you worrying about the price? Let’s see more details about the flight and if it’s expensive or not…

UPDATE:

Now, without direct flights, the only option for the visitor is coming through any of the hubs connecting with New York, those hubs are at the airports of Madrid, Barcelona, Amsterdam and London.

Will the direct flights come back again? I guess they will, but by now you can still visit us with 1 stop flights.

Details about the flight between Malaga AGP and New York JFK airport.

  1. Aloha,
    I am trying to discover if Delta will offer these non-stop flights in 2020. As yet I can not find any info anywhere. Also information about when they start to book them.
    Appreciate any help you can offer.
    Thanks
    Ane

    1. Aloha Ane,
      Eurob asked the same question the last year, so I guess the answer is still valid. They will probably be back by the end of May; I would start checking for booking availability during next year.

    2. thanks for the thoughts. I have been looking….still in the $2000 range with 2 stops. Do you know what the fares have been in the past and the length of the flight (JFK to Malaga)? can’t find any info.

      1. You are welcome.
        All those answers are near the bottom of this article. Extracted from there: “Approximately taking a look at the price range between May and September we can find prices from 2000$ to 5000$ for first class tickets and from around 731$ to 1191$ for economy class tickets.*”

    1. Hello,
      I read that they refused to extend the flight route in winter, so they will be back probably by the end of May like last year until last days of September.
