While I didn’t see SKY express in Greece on the MY
ID Travel list, the partnership with Delta may still be a worthwhile advantage
for Delta Non-Revs to Island hop in the Greek Isles.
Delta
Air Lines Is Making It Easier to Island Hop in Greece This Summer — Here's How
Delta has teamed up
with Greek carrier SKY express to offer travelers connections across Greece and
Cyprus.
Delta Air Lines is making it easier to travel throughout
Greece this summer thanks to a new partnership with a Greek airline, the
carrier announced this week.
Delta has teamed up with Greek carrier SKY express to
offer travelers connections across Greece and Cyprus, extending the
carrier's reach in the area, according to the airline. The new
partnership, which started Thursday, will allow travelers to fly on Delta's direct flights
to Athens and then connect to 34 different destinations, including popular
islands like
Mykonos, Santorini, Crete, and Corfu, as well as Larnaca in Cyprus.
"Greece is one of the most sought-after destinations
this summer for American travelers and with trade and tourism flows increasing
between our countries, Delta's partnership with SKY express gives our customers
more versatility when it comes to planning the perfect Greek getaway,"
Perry Cantarutti, Delta's senior vice president alliances, said in a statement.
"Customers will be able to hold a single Delta ticket and check their bags
from North America all the way to their final destination, providing customers
with a seamless service to some of the most beautiful islands in the
Mediterranean."
For
the SKY express flights, the airline operates A320neo and ATR 72600 aircraft,
which Delta said was "suited to the geographical environment of the Greek
islands."

"With one of the youngest fleets and an [unrivaled]
network, this arrangement with Delta will allow customers across the U.S. to
connect to the magical charm of the Greek
islands,"
Yiannis Lidakis, the commercial director of SKY express, said in a statement.
To make it even easier to visit, Delta said it would
offer a "record number of flights" between the United States
and Athens this summer,
including from Atlanta, Boston, and New
York.
Summer is one of the most
popular times to visit Greece with near-perfect weather. In June,
Athens sees an average high of 82.6 degrees, and in July, Santorini rarely
sees any rain.
