Delta to Offer Same Day Service from Denmark to USVI

The U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Tourism has announced same-day flight connections from Copenhagen, Denmark to St. Thomas, USVI on Delta Air Lines.

Following months of ongoing dialogue between the Department of Tourism and Delta, the airline will adjust the departure time for its new Atlanta/St. Thomas service to allow passengers to/from Copenhagen to make a same-day connection with the Territory.

The connecting service will be offered four days per week via Atlanta, Georgia beginning December 20, 2008. Delta has indicated that the updated schedule will be reflected in the airline’s timetable issued later this month.

The Department of Tourism anticipates a substantial increase in Danish visitors to the destination in 2009 and onward as a result of the connecting service. This service adds to an already impressive roster of European markets offering convenient same-day airlift to the Territory – through a connection in Atlanta.

Round-trip service is also available between St. Thomas and Amsterdam, Brussels, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, London, Milan, Paris and Zurich.

In addition, to accommodate the strong demand from Danish visitors to experience St. Croix, Seaborne Airlines offers seaplane service between St. Thomas and St. Croix at a special rate available through a variety of European tour operators. Seaborne has agreed to allow for an additional 20 pounds of baggage –free of charge for those visitors who utilize the service.
