From 25 to 29 August, Delta SkyMiles members are able to vote on which European destination will join the airline’s network for summer 2026.
This will allow customers and employees alike to help shape Delta’s network in a way no airline has done before.
Flying to more than 300 destinations and still growing, Delta continues to expand its global network to connect travellers with the world’s most sought-after cities.
This summer, the airline operated its largest-ever transatlantic schedule, including the launch of Catania, Italy, Delta’s first nonstop to Sicily.
Now, the people who know Delta best have the chance to help choose which Mediterranean destination joins the map next.
Paul Baldoni, senior vice president of network planning at Delta Air Lines, said: “SkyMiles members and Delta people are at the centre of everything Delta does.
“The Route Race is a celebration of their influence, giving our community a voice in where they want to fly next and inviting them to help shape Delta’s global network.
“The destinations where Delta flies are more than just dots on a map – they’re gateways to culture, connection and possibility, and this is a chance for our members and employees to bring one of them closer.”

Ibiza
For customers who love a destination that comes alive after dark, Ibiza is a global capital of nightlife with world-famous DJs, beach parties, and sunset-to-sunrise energy.
