The airline already flies nonstop service to Seoul from such cities as Atlanta, Georgia; Seattle, Washington; and Detroit, Michigan.

The new flight, along with recently announced Boston-Logan/Seoul-Incheon service that Korean Air will operate in April 2019, are the first additions to Delta and Korean Air’s new joint venture’s Seoul-Incheon network since the two carriers launched their partnership in May.

“This additional Delta flight will be an exciting way for many of our customers in Minnesota and in cities across the U.S. to access Seoul and dozens of destinations in Asia with one convenient connection in the world-class Terminal 2 at Incheon,” said Steve Sear, Delta’s president, international and executive vice president, global sales. “We look forward to April when the inaugural flight takes off from both airports, signifying how the Delta-Korean Air joint venture benefits our customers, our employees, the communities we serve and our shareholders.”

Delta’s newly refurbished 777-200ER include all new cabins featuring 28 Delta One suites that have a full height door, 18-inch high-resolution entertainment screens, memory foam seats, espresso coffee service and state-of-the-art design with customizable in-suite lighting.

The new Delta Premium Select cabin seats 48 with elevated personal service, plated meals, 13.3-inch seat back screens and more space to stretch out with recliner seat rows 38 inches apart.

The 220 all-new main cabin seats meanwhile are the widest in the Delta international fleet in a nine-abreast configuration furnished with personal screens, unlimited premium entertainment, and complimentary earbuds.

The new cabins all include in-seat USB and 110V power ports, in-flight Wi-Fi and new dynamic LED lighting that varies by a phase of flight fostering a relaxing, refreshing environment onboard.

As of June 1, Delta flights departing Korea will feature menus in all cabins curated by Michelin two-star Chef Kwon Woo Joong, who will also consult on menu design with Delta’s U.S. kitchens.

The service is Delta’s second trans-Pacific nonstop flight from its MSP hub, complementing existing service to Tokyo-Haneda, where Delta also plans to deploy the refurbished 777-200ER aircraft as of November 2018.
