This route – the only direct flight linking Salt Lake City to Asia – will provide seamless connections to key destinations across Asia for travelers throughout the Mountain West and Southwest U.S. regions. Customers will enjoy Delta’s Airbus A350, along with modern amenities at SLC’s recently upgraded terminal and the expansive Delta Sky Club, ensuring a smooth and comfortable trans-Pacific journey.
“The launch of Salt Lake City to Seoul service offers customers convenient access to Delta’s growing global network and ensures that virtually all U.S. demand is connected to Seoul via nonstop or one-stop service,” said Joe Esposito, Delta’s Senior Vice President – Network Planning. “As Salt Lake City continues to grow as a vital Delta hub, our strong joint venture with Korean Air allows us to offer unmatched connectivity between the U.S. and Asia, leveraging strong hubs on both sides. This ensures that customers, including those in the interior U.S., have access not just to Seoul but to key destinations across Asia.”
As Delta’s 5th direct U.S. route to Seoul, the new SLC-ICN flight joins Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Seattle in connecting U.S. travelers to Asia. With this addition, Delta—together with partner Korean Air—offers access to Seoul from 14 U.S. gateways, providing the most extensive reach across Asia through the ICN hub compared to any other trans-Pacific joint venture. This route also further solidifies Delta’s position as the largest long-haul foreign carrier at Incheon, enhancing its already unmatched reach across Asia.
The daily, year-round service to Seoul will be operated on Delta’s Airbus A350-900 offering the latest in premium travel with Delta One Suites, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+, and Main Cabin experiences. Travelers can expect Delta’s renowned service and a uniquely premium onboard experience as they travel across the Pacific.
Delta One customers will enjoy a luxury experience with lie-flat seating, premium bedding, expanded beverage options, and a seasonal chef-curated four-course meal. As part of Delta’s new collaboration with Italian fashion house Missoni, Delta One passengers will receive exclusive amenity kits featuring luxury details that elevate their inflight experience.
For customers in Delta Premium Select, wider seats, deeper recline, and elevated service create a more spacious and relaxing journey. Across all cabins, passengers can enjoy a curated food and beverage experience along with access to over 1,000 hours of entertainment via Delta Studio.
Delta is also expanding its fast, free Wi-Fi presented by T-Mobile. Already available on 90 percent of domestic flights, Delta is rolling out high-speed, streaming-quality Wi-Fi to long-haul international routes. The entire global fleet is expected to offer free Wi-Fi by the end of next year, making it easier than ever for SkyMiles Members to stay connected during their travels.
