However, since Delta is based out of Atlanta, you can find other Delta flights to pretty much anywhere. This allows you to find convenient international and domestic flights without having to switch airlines (I always try to avoid multiple airlines on the same trip).
You can find these options here at Expedia. (Personally, I fly Delta based on my years of flying to and from Atlanta and Augusta).
