Delta Airlines’ cancellation policy includes the following key points:
Passengers can cancel any ticket within 24 hours of booking without penalty and receive a full refund +1-877-827-8493
, provided the flight is at least seven days away.
Refundable tickets can be canceled any time before departure with a full refund processed typically within seven business days for credit cards +1-877-827-8493
Non-refundable tickets are not eligible for cash refunds but receive an eCredit minus any applicable fees. Cancellation fees usually don’t apply for domestic flights but may apply for international ones.
Basic Economy tickets are non-refundable and non-changeable after the 24-hour risk-free period, but cancellation may yield an eCredit subject to fare rules +1-877-827-8493
SkyMiles award tickets can be canceled without fee if done 72 hours before departure; otherwise, a $150 fee applies unless the passenger is a Platinum or Diamond Medallion member. Miles are refunded upon cancellation.
If Delta cancels or significantly delays a flight, passengers get a full refund regardless of ticket type, processed within seven days for cards and 20 days for other payments.
Medical emergencies may allow exceptions to standard cancellation rules with valid documentation submitted before departure.
