A trip to Austin will gain another SkyTeam option. From 27 March 2027, Delta plans daily summer-season flights between Paris Charles de Gaulle and Austin. That gives travelers another itinerary to compare with KLM’s existing service from Amsterdam.
Announced in August, the service forms part of Delta’s summer 2027 expansion. The Paris service will sit alongside KLM’s nonstop flight from Amsterdam.
Which route suits your departure point?
| Departure | Options to compare |
|---|---|
| Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS) |
KLM nonstop to Austin; with the new service, Air France to CDG followed by Delta to Austin. |
| Brussels Brussels Airport (BRU) |
KLM via Amsterdam. The Paris option starts with Air&Rail at Brussels-Midi/Zuid station (ZYR), not BRU airport. |
| Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) |
KLM via Amsterdam; alternatively Air France to CDG with Delta on the long-haul flight. |
Connections depend on your travel dates. Check the transfer time and whether the complete journey is on one ticket.
An A330neo to Texas
Delta plans the Airbus A330-900neo with Delta One, Premium Select, Comfort and Main. Delta One offers a fully flat bed and a privacy door; Premium Select has a wider seat and extra legroom. These cabins apply to the Paris–Austin flight, not the European connection.
