Most eTickets booked directly through Delta Airlines are eligible for a refund. If you have canceled your flight then a refund can be easily availed after utilizing the airline’s 24-hour cancellation policy.

Refunds after 24-hour cancellation

Refunds are allowed outside of the 24-hour cancellation window if you have purchased a Delta refundable ticket. The customer will need to browse Delta Airlines website and enter the document or ticket number. After doing so the refund information and eligibility will be displayed on the computer screen by the airline.

The customer can still cancel the flight even though the ticket is not refundable and apply the refund value to a future travel. A change fee will however be applicable for this.

Note: Changes or refunds don’t apply to Basic Economy fares. If Delta Airlines tickets were purchased from an online travel agency (OTA) then the customer needs to apply for flight changes or cancellation through the concerned OTA.

Refunds for Delayed or Cancelled Flights

A refund for a delayed or cancelled flight can be requested by the customer. Refund request can also be made in case the customer was downgraded. For example, if a business class ticket was purchased and the customer had to be seated in economy class, then he/she is eligible for a refund as per applicable fare difference. In such cases, the customer will have to fill a “Refund Exception Form” online for placing the request.
