Nonstop flights between Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) are set to resume, this time under the operation of Delta Air Lines. This marks Delta's first seasonal nonstop service connecting these two locations, further expanding its reach in the Coachella Valley.
The route is scheduled to launch in winter and will cater to local travelers eager to visit Austin, a city known for its vibrant culture. The decision to reintroduce this service reflects a strong demand from the Coachella Valley area. With this addition, Delta now offers five nonstop destinations from PSP.
"Delta continues to show its confidence in the Palm Springs market, and we’re glad to see them deepen their commitment to our destination," stated Harry Barrett, Jr., Executive Director of Aviation. "This new service to Austin builds on a solid foundation of demand, and we’re pleased to see Delta step in to bring it back."
The flights will operate on Saturdays from November 8, 2025, through April 25, 2026, coinciding with Palm Springs' peak travel season. An Embraer E175 aircraft will be used for these flights, providing options for First Class, Comfort+, and Main Cabin seating.
The flight schedule is as follows: Departing AUS at 10:15 AM and arriving at PSP at 11:22 AM; departing PSP at 12:07 PM and arriving at AUS at 5:07 PM. All times are local.
Tickets can be purchased via delta.com or the Fly Delta app.
