Delta Airlines flight change policy
Below are the change policies and change fees for Delta Airlines.
Update: Delta eliminated change fees for travel within the domestic U.S., Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands in Delta’s First Class, domestic Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin, with the exception of Basic Economy tickets.
24-Hour Risk-Free Cancellation/Change
Any ticket is eligible for free changes and cancellation within 24 hours of the flight purchase date.
Basically, Delta holds the ticket for 24 hours and then charges you once the 24 hours is up. Therefore, your purchase will post to your credit card statement with a 24 hour delay. However, Delta will hold the funds on your credit card.
This means if you buy the ticket on December 14th at 7:00pm, you have till December 15th at 11:59pm to change/cancel (or also defined as midnight as it quotes in the terms and conditions.)
Cancellation request must be made by midnight of the day after the eTicket is purchased or midnight of the departure date of the first flight, whichever comes first. Cancellation request must be made before travel commences for the first flight. Available only for eTickets purchased at the time of reservation through Delta ticket offices and airport ticket counters, Reservation Sales, or at delta.com.
This could give you a little more than 24 hours to change or cancel your ticket made directly through Delta. Do note, tickets made through travel agencies like Expedia, Priceline, Orbits, etc. will have to go through the travel agency’s 24 hours change and cancellation policy.
Prices
Fees will be per passenger for the whole itinerary.
Basic economy tickets aren’t permitted to change tickets 24 hours past the purchase of the ticket.
Non-refundable tickets change fees can range from $200 to $500 depending on the location you’re traveling to. Plus, the price difference. Same-day flight changes fees are $75. (Same-day change fee is waived for Gold, Platinum, and Diamond Medallions.)
- International ticket change fees range from $200 to $500 (the fee depends on the length of the flight, location, and type of fare)
Refundable tickets have no change fees, but you will still need to pay the price difference. Same-day flight changes fees are $75. (Same-day change fee is waived for Gold, Platinum, and Diamond Medallions.)
Award tickets change fees is a flat fee of $150. (The fee is waived for Platinum and Diamond Medallions.)
Deadline
Basic economy tickets changes must be made within the 24-hour risk-free cancellation/change policy. Otherwise, you aren’t allowed to make any more changes.
Non-refundable tickets changes without fees must be made within the 24-hour risk-free cancellation/change policy. Changes made past 24 hours of the ticket purchase are subject to change fees. Changes within 24 hours of the departure are only eligible within the US, Puerto Rico, and US Virgin Islands.
Refundable tickets changes can be made anytime until 24 hours before the departure of your flight. Changes within 24 hours of the departure are only eligible within the US, Puerto Rico, and US Virgin Islands.
Award tickets, changes can only be made at least 72 hours in advance of the departure or return of the flight.
Price changes
Flight changes will be subjected to price differences if the value of the new ticket is
higher than the original, no matter if you have a refundable or non-refundable ticket, you will have to pay the difference in ticket value. Ticket values that are less in price than the original ticket value, you will receive as an eCredit if your ticket is non-refundable. Refundable tickets will receive a refund of the fare difference.
For example, if you hold a refundable ticket that originally cost $500 and change the flight that now costs $400, you will be refunded $100. However, if you change the flight that costs $600, you will be charged $100 since the value of the new ticket is higher. (The same concept applies to non-refundable tickets, but you have to take into account the change fees.)
Delta Airlines cancellation and refund policy
Like above, Delta Airlines isn’t pursuing cheap cancellation fees. Delta cancellation and refund policies are similar to Delta’s change policy. Therefore, some will be repetitive.
On the modify flights page, you will be displayed with the options of changing a flight and canceling a flight. Both will show the corresponding fees that are associated with the flight you want to modify. Since we want to cancel the flight, you will select “start flight cancellation”.
Notice how there are no fees? There will be no fees if you cancel or change within 24 hours of your ticket purchase or if you have a refundable ticket.
