Can I Cancel/Change My Flight Without Fees?

Tickets purchased directly from Delta, including Basic Economy fares, are included in our 24-Hour Risk-Free Cancellation policy. This means you have up to 24 hours after booking to cancel your ticket for any reason and receive a full refund with no change or cancellation fees. If you booked your Basic Economy ticket on or before April 30, 2021, you may be eligible to change or cancel your ticket after expiration of the Risk-Free Cancellation window.

Tickets Purchased After April 30, 2021

Basic Economy purchases are final, meaning they are not changeable or refundable after expiration of the Risk-Free Cancellation period unless Delta has already made a significant change that has impacted your upcoming flight. You will not receive an eCredit upon cancellation.
