Atlanta-bound Spokane travelers had their journeys made easier with Delta Air Lines’ announcement Monday that it will offer nonstop service between the cities.
Beginning July 6, Delta will offer daily flights to the city — the farthest-flung nonstop service offered at the airport.
A flight will leave Atlanta at 7: 50 p.m. and arrive in Spokane at 10:05 p.m. A flight will depart Spokane at 10:45 p.m., and arrive in Atlanta at 6:25 a.m. the following day.
With Atlanta, the Spokane International Airport will have nonstop flights to 19 destinations. It is the fifth nonstop destination at the airport for Delta, joining Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City and Seattle.
Atlanta is the main hub for Delta, one of 18 major carriers in the U.S. with annual revenue topping $1 billion.
