Change or Cancel Overview

We understand that your plans may change. We simplified travel by eliminating change fees for tickets originating in the U.S. and Canada to anywhere in the world for Delta Classic and Extra experiences. You have the flexibility to change the date, time or location of your trip prior to departure. While many aspects of your ticket can be changed, your experience (Extra, Classic, or Basic if changeable) will remain the same when changing your ticket.

For tickets originating outside of the U.S. and Canada, change and cancel fees may apply depending on your point of origin and ticket type. If you change your ticket, sometimes your new flight costs more than your original flight. If this happens, you will need to pay the difference in price.

Visit My Trips to make changes to your flight(s) any time before your travel date. Tickets not changed or canceled prior to departure will have no remaining value.

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 “Nonrefundable,” your ticket may be a refundable ticket.
