In response to demand, and further proving that travel is back post pandemic, Delta Air Lines has relaunched its daily flight from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG). This well-timed return of the route occurs ahead of surging summer travel and just a year before Paris hosts the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Delta celebrated the first flight between Los Angeles and Paris, which departed on May 8 from LAX’s brand-new Terminal 3. Delta staffers donned berets and served macarons and chocolate-covered strawberries to attendees. Notable guests included U.S. Olympic athletes Athing Mu and Rudy Garcia-Tolson. Delta is the official airline of Team USA through the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 and beyond.

Edyth Adedeji, Delta’s Los Angeles and Southwest sales director, spoke about the resumption of this essential route. “This flight is one that we’re thrilled about – everyone loves Paris, and Paris is always a good time,” she stated. “Moreover, this route is a key connection point for the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games. We want to get our athletes there in comfort, and of course, 2028 will be here soon, so we will have the opportunity to bring everyone to Los Angeles to check out the games here.”

The relaunched route features multiple cabin products, including Delta One Suites, Delta Premium Select, and the main cabin. Notably, the Delta One Suites stand out with lie-flat seats, large entertainment console screens, three-course meals, and personal suite doors that guests can close for privacy.
Garcia-Tolson, a native Angeleno and five-time Paralympic medalist, expressed excitement about the route’s return, saying, “L.A. is my hometown, so to have a flight directly from here to Paris is a game-changer – it makes travel easier, especially since traveling as a Paralympian can present unique challenges.”
The daily route from LAX to CDG resumed on May 8 and will continue flying indefinitely, providing an important travel link for those looking to explore the beauty of Paris or attend the 2024 Summer Olympics.
