Sticking to its summer expansion plans in Europe, Delta Air Lines is once again flying to Barcelona from Atlanta this season. The Spanish city is one of many that feature in the airline’s robust network across the Atlantic this summer. Delta is bouncing back robustly amid rising passenger demand, restarting many previously suspended routes and even hiring more employees to support growing operations.
Hello, Barcelona!
Delta Air Lines has started connecting Atlanta with Barcelona again from April 2. The airline deployed an Airbus A330-200 aircraft for the eight-hour flight between the two cities and will fly this route three times a week initially. From April 14, the service will increase to a once-daily flight.
The flight will operate to the following schedule:
Flight | From | To | ETD | ETA | Frequency |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
DL 194 | Atlanta | Barcelona | 6:10 pm | 8:45 am+1 | Tue, Thurs, Sat |
DL 195 | Barcelona | Atlanta | 10:55 am | 3:26 pm | Wed, Fri, Sun |
About two weeks ago, Delta Air Lines revealed its expansion plans to Europe this summer, detailing several flights it plans to operate to the continent. The carrier will operate more than 510 weekly flights to Europe, offering its Delta Premium Select cabin offered on almost all of these flights.

This route is served by the airline’s Boeing 767-400ER aircraft, with the Atlanta-Madrid flight departing at 6:10 pm and arriving at 8:45 am. The return flight has a scheduled departure time of 11:15 am, arriving in Atlanta at 2:55 pm.
Both Barcelona and Madrid are already connected by non-stop Delta flights with New York JFK with daily frequencies.
