Delta Air Lines has announced their latest international route which will Orlando to Amsterdam starting March 30, 2018. This route will be operated by one of their 767-300ER aircrafts featuring 26 seats in their Delta One business class cabin.
This will be their 2nd daily international route out of Orlando, which already includes Sao Paulo. It will be interesting to see how this transatlantic route performs, and whether it will be one that the airline can sustain, or if it’s only around for a short while.
Per Delta,
Delta will directly link Central Florida to The Netherlands and dozens of convenient connections into Europe when new service between Orlando International Airport and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol debuts on March 30, 2018.Â
Delta has served Orlando since 1959. Today, the airline has approximately 55 departures on an average day to Sao Paulo, Atlanta, Boston, Cincinnati, Detroit, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis-St. Paul, New York City, Salt Lake City, Seattle and Raleigh/Durham. Delta also offers weekly nonstop service at Orlando to Cancun, Columbus, Kansas City, Louisville, Memphis, Milwaukee, Nashville, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Washington-Reagan National.
Delta partner Virgin Atlantic serves Orlando nonstop from Glasgow, London-Gatwick and Manchester, while partner Aeromexico offers service from Mexico City.

This is a great alternatively to Lufthansa! And hopefully it can help bring prices down, just a little bit. And another great alternative to fly directly from Europe to central Florida. Yes, Lufthansa flies to Tampa, but due to I4 traffic, it can be a hassle.
Only thing that people need to be prepared for is the heavy kids load, causing unruly and noisy cabins – Just like the issues LH is facing on the the Frankfurt flight.
