The In-Flight Routine That’s Getting Us Augusta-Ready

Consider this your pre-tee warmup.

Written by Elly Ayres

For jet-setting golf fans flying into Augusta once April hits, the first highly anticipated stop isn’t the course — it’s the cabin. Delta is making sure the journey to one of golf’s most legendary landmarks is just as memorable as the competition itself with expanded flights and seating into Augusta Regional Airport. During tournament week, that means up to 18 daily flights, including new service from Los Angeles, Nashville, and Newark.

Course-bound travelers can look forward to a thoughtfully curated in-flight entertainment lineup full of essential golf viewing, plus Delta’s signature comfort-centric seating and elevated onboard touches that make it easy to sit back, relax, and unwind with an in-flight routine that’s miles above ordinary.

Toast To The Tournament

Step one to feeling fabulous at 30,000 feet? Find your seat and settle in (although with comfortable seating like this, there’s no “settling” in sight). The Delta Premium Select seat not only has a deeper recline, it’s also got a fold-out adjustable footrest, so you have space to stretch out.

Next, place your drink order from the special selection available to flyers on their way to Augusta. Try a Transfusion, the fizzy grape-and-ginger cocktail that’s long been the unofficial drink at golf courses everywhere. (Legend has it, the name comes from cheeky golfers who needed a reviving elixir after playing a taxing round of 18 holes.)

Cue All The Golf Content

Beverage of choice now in hand, it’s time to study up on the greats. Delta is celebrating the history of golf with a curated library of tournament films and shows, from A Walk Through Augusta National’s Second Nine, an original twilight walkthrough filmed just for Delta customers, to must-see episodes of Hallowed Grounds: The Story of Augusta National.

Of course, live streaming golf in real time is an option, too. Whether you’re revisiting iconic moments or tuning in to current tournament coverage, the seat-back streaming experience keeps you close to the course from cruising altitude.

Hole-In-One On-Board Perks

The pre-tourney ritual doesn’t stop with what’s on your screen. Unleash your competitive side with a sleek Delta-branded tin game, then break for a quick refueling moment with tasty snacks. (Sun Chips Minis and Biscoff cookies make the perfect pairing to that Transfusion you ordered earlier.)

By the time wheels touch down in Augusta, you’ll already be in tournament mode — because Delta makes the journey feel like the first tee-off of the week.
