Delta to fly nonstop between Nashville and Cancun

Delta Air Lines today announced it will expand service to Cancun, Mexico, with new nonstop flights from Nashville International Airport beginning on December 20, 2008. The Nashville flight brings to 10 the number of U.S. cities from which Delta serves the popular destination in Mexico’s Riviera Maya.

Delta currently serves Cancun from Atlanta; Boston; Cincinnati; Hartford, Conn.; Los Angeles; Orlando, Fla.; Raleigh/Durham, N.C.; Salt Lake City, and Washington, DC.

For a limited time, Delta is offering a special introductory fare of $159 one-way for travel from Nashville to Cancun between January 10 and March 28, 2009. A round-trip ticket purchase is required to take advantage of the introductory fare, and additional taxes, fees, restrictions, and baggage charges may apply.

“Cancun is a favorite travel destination for U.S. travelers, and we are making it easy to reach from different points in the United States,” said Pam Elledge, senior vice president-Global Sales and Distribution. “Delta’s introductory fare allows travelers from Nashville to get acquainted with the convenience of the new flight and accessibility of the destination.”

The new flight between Nashville and Cancun is part of Delta’s ongoing international expansion, of which Latin America is a key component.
