Hey there, Memphis! Grab your bags and get ready for some exciting news that’s about to make your travel plans a lot easier. Starting on May 7, 2025, you’ll be able to hop on a nonstop flight from Memphis International Airport (MEM) to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS). Yep, you heard that right! This fantastic news comes courtesy of Delta Air Lines, who are launching a daily flight that connects our city to the vibrant capital of Texas.
Why Austin, you ask? Well, for those who haven’t ventured down south, Austin is known for its lively music scene, delicious food trucks, and a culture that celebrates creativity and innovation. Memphis, with its rich musical history and mouth-watering barbecue, neatly complements Austin’s quirky vibe. Whether you’re heading to Austin for a weekend getaway, a business meeting, or just to enjoy some fabulous live music, this new flight makes it super convenient.
The news has excited local officials too. Michael Keeney, the chairman of the Board of Commissioners for Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority, expressed his delight saying, “We appreciate Delta expanding its service here at MEM and know that passengers will be excited to have nonstop connectivity to Austin.” It’s clear that this new route is set to be a hit among travelers looking for a direct flight option.
This new flight brings Delta’s total number of destinations from MEM to eight destinations, which already includes bustling spots like Atlanta, Boston, and New York City, among others. So, if you’re planning a trip out of Memphis, you’ll have plenty of choices to fly away to exciting places.
For those curious about the aircraft, Delta will use a sleek 76-seat Embraer 175 for this route, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable ride. Imagine lounging back and taking in the views as you soar from the heart of Memphis straight to the eclectic streets of Austin.
Ready to get started? Tickets are already on sale, and you can grab yours directly from Delta’s website. Be sure to book early, as we anticipate this new route will be quite popular!
And it’s not just the Austin flight that’s new and exciting. There’s also a new Southwest flight that opens the doors for those who prefer taking a quick jaunt to Nashville without the hassle of a long drive. As travel options expand, it’s becoming ever more convenient to dip into the treasures of nearby cities.
Additionally, it seems like there’s a lot happening around the Memphis airport. Plans are underway to fill in old 1970s tunnels at the airport while also eyeing new developments in Midtown. Exciting times are ahead for our airport and city!
So, Memphis, keep those suitcases ready! As 2025 approaches, we can look forward to daily uninterrupted travels to one of Texas’s most vibrant cities. Soon enough, you can be mingling at a music festival or sampling some of that famous Austin cuisine in no time. Get excited, travelers!
