Delta Air Lines Flights from Minneapolis to Atlanta

Delta Air Lines on this route

Minneapolis is a Delta Air Lines hub, so Delta Air Lines typically offers several daily departures on MSP–ATL, with nonstop service where demand supports it and connections through its other hubs otherwise. The nonstop flight time is about 2h 28m.

Fare classes available: Basic Economy, Main Cabin, Comfort+, First Class / Delta One. Delta removed change fees on Main Cabin and above for travel originating in the US, Canada, Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean. You pay only the fare difference, and if the new flight is cheaper the difference is returned as an eCredit.

The lowest one-way fare we have on record for this route is $219. Fares like that usually show up on off-peak days and for travel booked a few weeks out; an agent can check whether a similar fare is available for your dates.

Because Delta Air Lines treats Minneapolis as a hub, this pairing tends to have frequent departures throughout the day. American Airlines and Southwest Airlines also compete here, which keeps fares in check.

The 907 miles between Minneapolis and Atlanta works out to about 2h 28m in the air, the range where nonstops are common on busy days and connections through a hub fill in the rest. Ask the agent to compare both; the one-stop is sometimes cheaper by a wide margin.

When to fly

From the Midwest, the expensive weeks cluster around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and spring break in March; May, early June, September, and October tend to price lowest.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday departures are usually the cheapest days on domestic routes; Friday and Sunday are the most expensive. Early-morning and late-evening flights are often priced below the midday departures.

For domestic travel, booking three to eight weeks ahead usually captures the best price. Inside two weeks, fares climb; more than four months out, airlines have not yet released their cheapest inventory.
