To request a refund from Delta Airlines, visit delta.com or call 1‑888‑843‑5587 Refund eligibility depends on your fare type and cancellation timing.

1.     Understand Your Ticket Type & Eligibility

1. 24‑Hour Risk‑Free Cancellation: If you booked your ticket in the U.S. or Canada and travel is more than 7 days away, you have 24 hours from booking to cancel for a full refund—regardless of fare type, including Basic Economy.

2. Refundable or “Extra” Tickets: These fare types are eligible for refunds after cancellation. Cancellation can be done online via “My Trips” or Fly Delta app.

3. Non‑Refundable Tickets / Basic Economy: After 24 hours, Basic Economy (Delta Main Basic) fares typically cannot be refunded. However, you may receive a eCredit (minus a cancellation fee) if canceled before departure.

2. Canceling Your Flight

Online

1. Log in to My Trips or Fly Delta app.

2. Select the flight you wish to cancel.

3. Click “Need to Cancel?” then “Start Flight Cancellation”.

4. If your ticket is refundable, choose to process the refund; otherwise, cancel for eCredit

Calling Delta

If you need help or have special circumstances (e.g. serious illness, flight cancellation by Delta), call 1‑888‑843‑5587. A representative can verify eligibility, help complete cancellation/refund requests, and escalate if necessary.

3. Special Situations: Delays, Cancellations & Health Issues

1. Flight Canceled or Significantly Delayed: Under U.S. DOT rules effective from late 2024, Delta must issue a refund automatically if a flight is canceled or delayed by 3+ hours domestically or 6+ hours internationally—unless you accept a rebooking within 24 hours.

2. Medical or Communicable Disease Scenarios: If a medical professional advises against travel due to serious illness or public health concerns, you may qualify for a travel credit valid 5 years, or a refund less a $100 processing fee.

4. Refund vs eCredit: What You’ll Receive

1. Refundable tickets: Canceled flights are refunded to the original payment method automatically.

2. Non‑refundable tickets: You receive a credit valid one year (certain conditions) minus fees.

Refunds are typically issued within 7 business days for credit/debit card purchases. Refunds by cash or check might take up to 20 business days.
