Vancouver is served less frequently by the A319 but remains part of Delta's network with regular services using various aircraft types including the A320 and Boeing models.

Harlingen ranks as another significant destination for Delta's A319 fleet during IATA's winter season from October to April. The airline recorded a load factor of 79.50% between January and May before pausing operations until October.

Overall, these routes demonstrate Delta's strategic use of its Airbus A319 fleet for connecting Minneapolis–St. Paul with key North American destinations.
