Delta is running its largest international schedule ever this summer – and customers are ready to see the world.
Ahead of Memorial Day, Delta released its second annual list of most-searched international destinations. Gathered from Delta.com search data*, the list reveals cities on customers’ minds for summer travel between May and August.
