Delta Air Lines has added a daily non-stop service between Bermuda and New York’s LaGuardia International Airport, to commence on April 5, 2008.

The company said the new flight will complement Delta's non-stop service between Bermuda and Boston as well as its Atlanta route to the Island.

The flight will leave LaGuardia at 10.59 a.m. and arrive in Bermuda at 2.19 p.m. and turnaround for LaGuardia at 4.45 p.m., arriving there at 5.59 p.m.

Fares for the flights were not released in the press statement, but an online booking for a round trip from LaGuardia to Bermuda on Delta from April 7 to April 10 gave a price of $428.

The same round trip from Bermuda to LaGuardia gave a price of $434 — the cheapest available for those dates using those airports.

American Airlines, however,. is offering the same dates for $393 from John F. Kennedy Airport.
