Delta Atlanta-Riyadh Flights Launch October 23
Beginning Oct. 23, 2026, Delta will launch new nonstop service between Atlanta and Riyadh, establishing its first direct connection to Saudi Arabia and the first nonstop service between the U.S. and Riyadh operated by a U.S. airline. Customers can also take advantage of a limited-time SkyMiles Award Deal when booking travel on the new route.
Beyond Riyadh, Saudi Arabia offers a wide range of landscapes and experiences. AlUla is known for desert scenery, art installations, archaeological sites and Hegra, Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site. Taif, in the western highlands, offers cooler temperatures, mountain views and seasonal rose farms. Along the Red Sea coast, Jeddah features historic architecture in Al-Balad, a waterfront Corniche and a dining scene shaped by local and international influences.
Delta’s new Atlanta–Riyadh service will fly daily from Oct. 23–30, 2026, before transitioning to three times weekly service on Delta’s Airbus A350-900, giving customers a more direct way to reach Saudi Arabia, with connections through Delta’s Atlanta hub from cities across the country.
The Airbus A350-900 features Delta One®, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort® and Delta Main. Customers can enjoy Delta Studio entertainment, and SkyMiles Members can access fast, free Delta Sync Wi-Fi powered by T-Mobile where available. Halal meal options will also be available for selection when booking or ahead of travel.
To celebrate the launch of new Atlanta-Riyadh service, Delta is introducing exciting SkyMiles Award Deals, with deals in all cabins for travel to Riyadh. Roundtrip prices start from 30,000 SkyMiles, plus $77 in taxes and fees.
