Change a Flight

Once you have selected “Start Flight Change,” you can choose the flights you would like to change and view new flight options. The value of the original flight will be applied to the cost of the new ticket. You will see this credit reflected in the final price before you complete the change and view your confirmation.

If your new flight’s cost is less than your original flight’s cost, the difference will be issued to you as a Delta eCredit.

 

Cancel a Flight

Once you have selected “Start Flight Cancellation,” you will be taken 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 will be issued a refund as either a Delta eCredit or to the original form of payment depending on your ticket type and circumstances of cancellation. In some situations you will be issued an eTicket.
