Delta just scheduled its shortest Airbus A350 international route

The A350 will soon be flying a new international route.

The Atlanta-based carrier filed plans over the weekend to deploy the A350 on its daily service from Atlanta to Arequipa, as first seen in the schedule.

The service will not be flown by the A350. The airline has two configurations of the jet, one that features the Delta One Suites and Premium Select products and the other that still features the carrier's two-cabin configuration.

There are 30 Delta One seats in a forward-facing 2-2-2 configuration in these ex-LATAM A350s.

Delta eventually plans to retrofit these planes into its signature A350 configuration, but for now, you'll find the old LATAM seats in Delta's color-coded flights. One of the most comfortable lie-flat beds in the Delta fleet can be found in the business class product.

It's a major upgauge for the Atlanta to Lima service. The high-density ex-LATAM A350 features 339 seats, which is a 50% increase over the previous Boeing 767-300.

The airline's 1-2-1 product may be an improvement over the 2-2-2 configuration for families and couples travelling together.

The A350 is Delta's shortest international jet and the airline frequently flies it on shorter domestic flights during downtime or between long haul flights.

Flying on a wide-body plane on short domestic and international routes is a great way to see an upgrade without spending a lot.

The route is blocked for six hours and 30 minutes and covers 3,178 miles.
