Delta’s game-day energy isn't stopping at the border. In an extraordinary move, the airline is taking the football fever global by adding four additional round-trip flights between the U.S. and Europe. The carrier will operate special flights to Madrid and Munich to support fans heading across the Atlantic for November's massive international regular-season games, including a spectacular Minnesota vs. San Francisco showdown via Mexico City.
And if you're worried about missing rival games while in transit? Fear not. Delta’s industry-leading hospitality has you completely covered.
Every single fan traveling on these special routes will enjoy state-of-the-art Live TV streamed directly to their seats via the acclaimed Delta Sync seatback experience.
