Delta announced they’ll be launching brand new nonstop Los Angeles to Auckland, New Zealand service starting on October 28, 2023. Delta will fly its Airbus A350-900 featuring 32 Delta One suites, 48 Delta Premium Select, 36 Comfort Plus, and 190 Main Cabin seats.

Per Delta,

Daily flights between New Zealand’s largest city and Los Angeles will begin Oct. 28 on an Airbus A350-900 aircraft, as Delta becomes the only U.S. airline to provide nonstop service. This new destination joins other new Los Angeles service to Tahiti, Paris and London-Heathrow and will complement the airline’s current service from LAX to Sydney, where it operates 10 flights per week in the winter and daily service to Tokyo-Haneda.

Delta operates more than 150 daily flights from LAX to 53 destinations across the globe as the airport’s leading premium global carrier.

Delta continues to transform the airport experience at LAX, debuting the first two major phases of the brand-new terminal last year: the headhouse and the T3 facility. This spring, customers can look forward to the opening of the west headhouse, featuring a dedicated Delta One check-in area.

Additionally, the first-of-its-kind Delta One Club will open its doors in 2024, connect to the existing Terminal 3 Club and offer a personalized, dedicated level of service that further elevates the lounge experience.

Delta’s new Los Angels to Auckland service complements Delta’s existing Los Angeles to Sydney service. Delta will be the second airline flying LAX to Auckland, as Air New Zealand is currently the only airline operating this route.
