You can save big on Delta Air Lines business-class travel to Europe right now. Prices for nonstop flights from New York City to prized destinations in Greece, Italy and Spain are on sale, and the availability is unusually good.
Almost every route in this latest sale includes the Delta One cabins on the airline’s new A330-900neo jets, which have lie-flat suites with memory foam cushions, as well as excellent food and drink options. The Barcelona and Madrid itineraries use Delta’s retrofitted 767 jets; they still offer lie-flat seats, but the planes aren’t quite as fresh as the cabins on the A330s.
The travel window stretches from July 2024 — peak summer travel time in Europe — all the way until February 2025. The best prices and the greatest availability we saw were for winter flights, and unlike many fare sales, holidays are included. So, if you’re looking to take a break from hosting family for Thanksgiving or Christmas, you’re in luck.

I used Google Flights to scour for the best prices, because I find the interface more user-friendly than Delta’s site. I started with Spain and found flights in late summer from JFK to BCN for $2,522 round-trip.
To give you an idea of how good a deal this is, Google Flights says this route usually costs about double the price.
You can fly nonstop from JFK to MAD for $2,526 round-trip.
We found this price on several itineraries in November and early 2025.
You can also save big on a late-summer jaunt to Italy. We found seats from New York City to Milan in late July and August for $2,541.
That’s an excellent price, and since it’s on Delta’s A330-900 jets, you get to enjoy the latest and greatest Delta One product.
It can get really hot in Italy in August, but it might be worth taking this flight — it offers a large discount on a lie-flat seat across the Atlantic.
August also has the best prices to fly in style to Rome. We found business-class seats from New York City to Rome for $2,553.
We told you earlier that this sale included travel over the major holidays. If you want to spend Thanksgiving in Italy, you can book business-class seats from New York City to Rome for $2,766.
There is one caveat: This is the one route we saw to Italy in this sale where Delta uses a Boeing 767 instead of one of the newer Airbus A330s. Still, that’s a fantastic price.
What about Greece, you ask? We found decent availability around Thanksgiving for flights to Athens for $2,630 round-trip. The same price was also available in December, making it a good option for a family vacation during the holiday break.
