Delta to Unveil New Routes from Boston to Madrid and Nice in 2026

Delta announced on Wednesday, August 27, that it will add flights to Madrid, Spain, and Nice, France, next spring, expanding its reach in the European market. This recent announcement comes two months after the airline added a Boston-to-Milan route and began offering daily flights to Barcelona.

“By adding nonstop service to Madrid and Nice, we're enhancing our European network and continuing our commitment to providing an exceptional travel experience from start to finish,” said Paul Baldoni, senior vice president of network planning for the Atlanta-based airline, in a statement shared with the Boston Globe.

Wednesday's announcement means that Delta now serves 12 European cities from Boston. The flight to Nice will be the first nonstop flight from Boston to the French destination. Flights to Madrid will begin on May 16, 2026, and flights to Nice will start on May 17.

According to the website SimpleFlying.com, Delta occupies Terminal One at Madrid-Barajas Airport. The terminal is conveniently located close to a pickup and drop-off point for passengers. Nice offers a dynamic repertoire of dining, retail, hospitality, and nightlife to delight the whims of every traveler.

Delta has been leading an intense effort to boost its presence in the Boston market. In addition to opening new European routes, Delta debuted a 21,000-square-foot Sky Lounge in Terminal E at Logan International Airport. It also launched a 6,7000-square-foot Delta One Lounge, reserved for the airline's customers seated in first class and some customers seated in first-class or business-class seats on flights operated by Delta's partners.
