After three years of silence, Delta Air Lines is returning to Cozumel — a small but telling sign that the long arc of pandemic disruption is bending back toward normalcy. Beginning November 5, daily nonstop flights will once again connect Atlanta to the Mexican island, followed by Minneapolis service in December, as the carrier moves to reclaim a leisure travel corridor it abandoned in the spring of 2020. The resumption is not merely logistical; it reflects a broader human hunger for warmth, escape, and the restoration of rhythms that were so abruptly severed.
