Delta is introducing its first-ever nonstop flights between Los Angeles (LAX) and Manila (MNL)*, adding the Philippines to Delta’s global network. Beginning March 28, 2027, Delta will become the only U.S. carrier to offer nonstop service between Los Angeles and Manila, further expanding Delta’s growing network from LAX aboard its Airbus A350-900.

A city worth discovering

As the capital of the Philippines, Manila is one of Southeast Asia’s most important commercial and cultural centers. The city attracts business travelers, customers visiting friends and family, and visitors eager to experience its rich history, diverse cuisine and vibrant neighborhoods. From the centuries-old walls of Intramuros to a thriving culinary scene and modern business districts, Manila offers a dynamic introduction to the Philippines.

As the country’s primary international gateway, Manila is the starting point for journeys throughout the Philippines, opening the door to the country’s diverse landscapes, vibrant communities and world-renowned island destinations. Delta’s new nonstop service creates an important new link between Southern California and one of Asia’s fastest-growing markets.

A premium journey begins at LAX 

At LAX, the premium experience begins well before boarding. Delta One customers traveling to Manila can enjoy access to exclusive Delta One check-in and security and Delta’s two Delta One Lounges, including the newly opened Terminal 2 location, which offers a more intimate experience featuring elevated dining, thoughtfully designed spaces and personalized service before departure.

The recent opening makes LAX the first airport in Delta’s network to offer two Delta One Lounges. By 2028, Delta will offer four dedicated lounge spaces at LAX totaling more than 60,000 square feet and over 1,000 seats, alongside continued enhancements across Terminals 2 and 3.

Once onboard, customers will travel aboard Delta’s flagship Airbus A350-900, featuring four distinct seat products: Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort and Delta Main. Service will operate three times weekly beginning March 28 before increasing to daily flights on June 7, 2027.

Across every cabin, customers can enjoy thoughtful onboard service, fast, free Wi-Fi for SkyMiles Members (available on trans-Pacific routes this fall), seatback entertainment and thoughtfully designed amenities. Delta One customers will enjoy flat-bed seating, elevated dining and refined service designed to make the journey as memorable as the destination.

Delta’s growing network from LAX 

As LAX’s leading global carrier and premier West Coast gateway, Delta operates more than 160 peak-day departures to over 50 destinations, powered by a growing domestic and international network built for both leisure and business travelers. 

In the past year alone, Delta has expanded its LAX network with new service to Hong Kong, Melbourne and Chicago, returned to Shanghai, announced upcoming service to Vancouver, Newark and now Manila, and introduced its largest-ever schedule to Florida.
