Delta Air Lines will be starting weekly seasonal service from Minneapolis to both Montego Bay, Jamaica and Nassau in the Bahamas starting in January, the carrier announced.

The flights will be operated on Airbus A320 planes with 150 seats.

The seasonal service could prove a boon for many travelers in the Midwest region of the United States looking to travel to the Caribbean.

The flights between Minneapolis and Montego Bay will operate on Sundays; Delta will be operating flights between Minneapolis and Nassau on both Saturdays and Sundays.

It’s the latest expansion for the carrier in the Caribbean region.
