CHANGE OR CANCEL

Overview

Delta is broadly waiving change fees for travel impacted by coronavirus, including any flights departing March 1, 2020, through March 31, 2021 (for tickets purchased before April 17, 2020) and all tickets purchased between March 1 and December 31, 2020. We’ve also recently eliminated change fees and Award redeposit fees permanently for tickets purchased for travel within the U.S., Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands, excluding Basic Economy fares.

For more details about waiver eligibility and terms, visit our Coronavirus Travel Updates page. 

Understanding Changes & Refunds
Explore and understand the cost associated with changing or canceling your flight, which may vary depending on your ticket type. If your ticket is non-refundable, you will see the word ‘Nonrefundable’ next to the cabin name in My Trips. If you do not see the copy, your ticket may be a refundable (FLEX) ticket. Please note that Basic Economy fare is Non-refundable and Non-changeable.
