CHANGE OR CANCEL YOUR TRIP

Can I Cancel/Change My Flight Without Fees?

Updated as of March 21, 2024

We understand that your plans may change. Enjoy more peace of mind with no change and cancellation fees when you purchase Main Cabin or above tickets on flights originating from the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. Any remaining value will become an eCredit that you can use at any time before your ticket expires (typically one year from the date of purchase).

You can change the date, time or location of your trip prior to departure in My Trips. When changing your ticket, sometimes your new flight may cost more than your original flight. If this happens, you will need to pay the difference in price. Any ticket not changed or canceled prior to departure will have no remaining value. Please note that Basic Economy tickets remain non-changeable and non-refundable in most cases.

For some originating markets, change and cancellation fees will continue to apply for all tickets, including Main Cabin and premium fares.

Already have an eCredit and ready to book? Visit delta.com/redeem to book your future travel. If you need assistance with how to cancel or change your flight, visit our how-to guide.

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.

Basic Economy tickets are non-changeable* and non-refundable in most cases. You may cancel your ticket before departure to receive an eCredit minus a cancellation fee** and apply the remaining value toward a future Delta ticket. Basic Economy Award Tickets are also non-changeable and non-refundable in most cases; you may cancel for a fee in miles which is deducted from the value of your ticket, and the remaining mileage balance will be redeposited into your SkyMiles account.

How to Cancel Your Flight:

  • To cancel your flight, visit My Trips on delta.com and click on "Need to Cancel?” then “Start Flight Cancellation”
  • Follow the steps through the cancellation process. Before the cancellation is final, you will have the opportunity to check your flight details and confirm that you would like to cancel
  • You may cancel your flight before departure and apply any remaining value of the ticket toward the purchase of a new ticket for a period of one year from the original date of purchase

*For tickets issued for travel originating in Korea, tickets will be refunded to the original form of payment after deducting the cancellation fee. Check your ticket along with the Baggage & Travel Fees page to view any fees that may apply to your Basic Economy ticket depending on your origin city and destination.

**An eCredit will not be issued if the cancellation fee exceeds the ticket value.

We have eliminated change and cancellation fees for Main Cabin or above tickets in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean to anywhere in the world. However, as a reminder, Basic Economy tickets are non-refundable and non-changeable in most cases.
