Delta Air Lines will be offering special event direct flights from New York’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Detroit’s Metro Airport (DTW) to Daytona Beach International Airport for the Daytona 500.

Both flights will operate Feb. 16 and 19 with the following schedules:

Feb. 16

DTW — depart Detroit at 8:44 a.m.; arrive at DAB at 11:37 a.m.; depart DAB for Detroit at 12:32 p.m.
LGA — depart New York at 4:28 p.m.; arrive at DAB at 7:18 p.m.; depart DAB at 8:08 p.m.; arrive in New York at 10:38 p.m.

Feb. 19

DTW – depart at 8:25 a.m.; arrive at DAB at 11:20 a.m.; depart DAB for Detroit at 12:15 pm.
LGA – depart at 7:15 a.m.; arrive at DAB at 10:05 a.m.; depart DAB for New York at 11 a.m.

Delta also added a fifth trip out of its hub in Atlanta (ATL) on Feb. 19.

For the Rolex 24, Delta is running a full schedule of four flights a day to and from ATL from Jan. 23 through 26 and Jan. 28 through 30. This is up from three flights daily in January, when the airline has a systemwide reduction in ATL frequency.

While Delta has provided special event flights from Detroit in years past, this is the first time it has added flights from New York City.
