24-Hour Risk-Free Cancellation:Delta Airlines allows passengers to cancel their flight within 24 hours of booking without incurring any cancellation fees. This policy applies to all tickets booked directly with Delta.

Refundable vs. Non-Refundable Tickets:

  • Refundable Tickets: If you purchased a refundable ticket, you could cancel your flight at any time before departure and receive a full refund.
  • Non-Refundable Tickets: For non-refundable tickets, you might not get a cash refund, but you can receive an eCredit for future travel. Cancellation fees may apply depending on your fare type.
Basic Economy Tickets:Basic Economy tickets are generally non-refundable and non-changeable. However, during certain promotional periods or special circumstances, Delta may offer flexibility for these tickets.
