Yes, there are new Delta flights to Iceland on the way: starting April 12, 2027, Delta will fly nonstop every day from Boston to Reykjavík (KEF), and the seasonal run lasts through October 30. If you live in New England and have been routing through New York to reach Iceland, the trip is about to get simpler.
The catch for points collectors eyeing these Delta flights to Iceland is the plane. Delta is putting a Boeing 757-200 on the route, so the best seat on board is Premium Select, not a lie-flat Delta One suite. That changes how you should think about spending SkyMiles on this trip.
The short answer on the Boston route
Delta added Reykjavík to an announcement that first went out on September 25 and was updated on October 16, 2026. The official Delta release lists the new Delta flights to Iceland alongside new Boston to Venice, Detroit to Athens and Austin to Paris service for 2027.
| Detail | Boston to Reykjavík (KEF) |
|---|---|
| First flight | April 12, 2027 |
| Last flight of the season | October 30, 2027 |
| Frequency | Daily |
| Aircraft | Boeing 757-200 |
| Cabins | Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort, Delta Main |
| Schedule (per AeroRoutes) | DL310 Boston 9:05 p.m. to Reykjavík 6:30 a.m. next day; DL311 Reykjavík 8:15 a.m. to Boston 10:00 a.m. |
Our own count: a daily flight from April 12 through October 30 works out to 202 days of service, so roughly 202 departures in each direction if the schedule holds. That is a full spring, summer and early fall season.
How Delta flights to Iceland from Boston will work
This is a narrowbody, three-cabin product. Premium Select is the front cabin, then Delta Comfort, then Delta Main. Delta’s release lists no Delta One seats for this route, which sets it apart from the new Boston to Venice flight that runs on an Airbus A330-300 with Delta One up front.
Delta’s release did not include times, but AeroRoutes has since published the schedule: DL310 leaves Boston at 9:05 p.m. and lands in Reykjavík at 6:30 a.m. the next morning, and DL311 leaves Reykjavík at 8:15 a.m. and reaches Boston at 10:00 a.m. That means an overnight flight east and a daytime hop home, so plan for an early hotel check-in or an easy first day in Iceland. AirlineGeeks reports that tickets went on sale the weekend of October 16.
Before you book, it helps to know how Delta splits its fares beyond the cabin name. Our explainer on Delta’s fare subcategories walks through how those tiers work.
Why Delta is adding Iceland from Boston
Delta calls itself Boston’s No. 1 carrier and describes the city as its closest U.S. hub to Europe. Reykjavík will be its 14th unique long-haul summer destination from Boston and its 16th international one from the airport.
The airline is also leaning on history. Delta started flying New York-JFK to Reykjavík nonstop in June 2011, which it says made it the first U.S. carrier with scheduled nonstop flights to Iceland. Boston now returns as a second, closer starting point for travelers in New England, after Delta last flew the route in 2021.
Customers continue to seek more flexibility, convenience and choice when traveling to Europe, whether they are planning a spring escape, a summer vacation or a fall getaway.

What it means for your SkyMiles
Award prices for Delta flights to Iceland out of Boston have not been published, and the release does not mention SkyMiles. So the real decision happens once award seats load on delta.com, when you can compare what Main, Comfort and Premium Select cost in miles on the dates you want.
Premium Select is the ceiling. Without a lie-flat option, paying a big jump in miles for the front cabin makes sense only if the gap over Comfort is modest on your dates. If the difference is large, Comfort plus a few nights in Reykjavík may be the better use of the same balance.
Watch the shoulder months. The season starts in mid-April and runs to the end of October, so spring and fall dates on Delta flights to Iceland are worth checking first, since you get two shoulder windows to work with.

Common mix-ups about this route
- It is not Delta’s first Iceland service. New York-JFK to Reykjavík dates back to 2011. Boston service returns after Delta last flew the route in 2021.
- It is not year-round. The announced season ends October 30, 2027, and Delta has not said anything about winter flying.
- There is no Delta One cabin. If a lie-flat seat is the goal, the 757-200 will not deliver it on this route.
- The Venice flight is a different aircraft. Boston to Venice uses an A330-300 with Delta One, so do not assume the two new Boston routes offer the same seats.
