  • Can I Request a Refund Online?

    In many cases, yes. You may qualify for Risk-free Cancellation. If so, you can cancel your itinerary. Otherwise, you can request a refund for eTickets here at delta.com if the tickets were:

    • Refundable
    • Purchased with a credit card
    • Purchased with cash or check. (U.S. or Canadian currency only)
    • Not obtained with a SkyMiles award
    • Issued with a ticket number that begins with 006 followed by 10 digits

    En cas de défaut d’embarquement du passager sur un vol international, Delta s’engage à rembourser au passager sur simple demande les taxes et redevances de départ international liées à l’embarquement effectif pour la portion inutilisée du billet. Le remboursement sera crédité sans frais pour le passager dans les trente jours suivant la demande, sous réserve que la demande de remboursement soit adressée à Delta sur le formulaire de demande de remboursement.

    Pour les billets non-remboursables, le passager conserve un crédit correspondant aux segments de vol non utilisés jusqu’à l’expiration de la période de validité du billet. Cette valeur résiduelle peut être utilisée pour l’achat d’un autre billet au cours de ladite période de validité, sous réserve du paiement des frais de modification et de la différence de prix applicables tels que décrits dans les Conditions internationales de transport. Toutefois, en cas de demande de remboursement des taxes, toute valeur résiduelle sera automatiquement annulée par le remboursement des taxes et redevances de départ international.
