Delta Shuttle (Steele Luxury Travel)

Delta Airlines’ Marine Air Terminal at LaGuardia Airport will now have three shuttle destinations being operated to Boston, Washington National and now Chicago O’Hare. The New York-Chicago flights will offer the convenience that the air shuttle has always been known for since the concept was engineered by the Eastern Airlines’ Air Shuttle in 1961. Passengers will be able to use kiosks to purchase tickets the day of travel at Delta Shuttle stations and then step on board.

The flights will operate with the Embraer 175 which is equipped with 12 first class seats and 64 economy seats. The shuttle will also offer meals in first class and complimentary wine and Sam Adams beer. On morning flights before 10 AM, there will be bagels offered to economy passengers as well. It will be interesting to see how United and American react to this new service by Delta. It may be time for these airlines to introduce their own shuttles offering walk-up service on one of their busiest “golden” routes. Let the games begin!

In addition to Delta’s new shuttle services, the airline is bringing more flights to its Los Angeles hub with nonstops to San Francisco, Columbus, Hartford/Springfield and Raliegh Durham. By June, Delta will be offering 81 peak day-departures to 26 nonstop destinations from LAX.

  1. Did you know that Delta has upgraded their JFK-LAX and JFK-SFO to a BusinessElite offering? Other upgrades to their product offerings are featured on pages 11-12 of the March edition of Sky, their inflight magazine.

  2. Since when is 81 daily flights hub status? CVG has nearly double that and folks are saying that it is virtually de-hubbed at this point.

    And flooding the ORD-LGA market with another dozen daily flights isn’t going to be good for anyone there. Even today fares are routinely $70-90 each way with advance purchase. Add on the MDW-LGA service that Southwest and Delta offer and there is truly a glut of service there.
