Getting to your favorite Caribbean island home-away-from-home just got a little easier with additional weekly service announced by Delta Air Lines this week.

This winter, travellers to St. Kitts and Nevis will enjoy new weekly service from Delta’s hub at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport on Saturday and an additional seasonal flight from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Tuesday.

The JFK service on Delta will begin December 23 on the following schedule:
