Can I Cancel/Change My Flight Without Fees?
Updated as of April 17, 2020
Delta is waiving change fees for travel impacted by coronavirus. This applies to domestic and international travel departing March through September 30, 2020, as well as all tickets purchased between March 1 and May 31, 2020.
If your travel is eligible for a waiver, you can move your travel dates and even select a new destination. Your unused ticket will be applied toward your new flight, and in some instances a fare difference will apply. If the new fare is lower, you will receive an eCredit for the difference. If the new fare is higher, the difference will be collected. The fare difference will be waived for changes to existing travel between March - Sept 2020 if originally purchased before April 17th and traveling to the same destination before September 30, 2020.
Tickets originally purchased between March 1 and May 31, 2020, can be changed without a change fee* for up to a year from the date you purchased it.

*The change fee will be waived; however, if there is a difference in price, a difference in fare will apply. The international travel waiver applies to travel to the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Notwithstanding any rules or ticketing policies to the contrary, if the newly selected flight is for the same travel dates, for the same origin and destination, and results in a lower ticket price, then the reissued ticket will be deemed issued at the same ticket price as the original ticket (i.e., any fare difference will not be issued in the form of a credit). Final travel must be completed by end of ticket validity, one year from date of original issue. If travel is not able to be rescheduled within these guidelines, customers may cancel their reservation and apply any unused value of the ticket toward the purchase of a new ticket for a period of one year from the original ticket issuance. Applicable change fee and fare difference will apply for new travel dates. Final travel must be completed by end of ticket validity.
