Delta Air Lines has loaded two new routes into their booking site, but they don’t touch any of the carrier’s hubs. United Airlines, and especially American Airlines, have histories of adding routes between two non-hub cities, especially when there are major sporting events happening. But it is rare to see this from Delta, as they tend to stick more towards the traditional hub-and-spoke model with very few exceptions in their network, except for a few routes out of the nation’s capital airport of Washington Reagan to other state capitals.

As of yet, the airline has not made an official route announcement about the routes, which is odd given these routes start less than three months away. Both of the new routes from White Plains will be served on board the carrier’s 110-seat Boeing 717.

The plane leaves White Plains again at 3 P.M., this time going to West Palm Beach, where it will arrive just before 6 P.M., with the return trip leaving West Palm at 7 P.M. and getting back to White Plains just before 10 P.M.
The flights have both already been put on sale, although the flights to West Palm Beach are already showing sold out in all cabins, except for First Class, which is selling at a really high price. This is most likely a…
