Delta Air Lines is adding more than 35,000 seats for what the company is calling its largest-ever winter schedule in Latin America and the Caribbean, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

That will include extra flights to destinations across the region, from Montego Bay, Jamaica to St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. 

From Atlanta, Delta is adding extra Saturday flights to St Thomas, USVI, St Maarten and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
