How to Cancel a Delta Flight in a Flash

It happens all the time. People book a Delta flight and then need to cancel the Delta flight. Plans change, or perhaps there's another reason for the cancellation. If this happens to you, it's a good idea to know if is even possible. After all, like any flight, there's likely a Delta cancel flight policy you need to adhere to if you want to get your money back. Your best chances of canceling your flight on time and receiving a refund will increase if you use the help of DoNotPay.

Can I Cancel My Delta Flight and Get a Refund?

Whether or not you can and receive a refund will depend on the type of ticket you purchased.

Non-Refundable Ticket

If it's a non-refundable ticket you bought, you may be charged a cancellation fee which will come out of the cost of your flight. Then, you'll be provided an eCredit of any remaining value, which you can use towards purchasing another ticket.

No Cancellation Fee

A cancellation fee isn't applicable for the following tickets:

A Delta ticket Main Cabin and above when traveling inside the United States, USVI, and Puerto Rico bought after August 31, 2020.
A Delta ticket Main Cabin and above when traveling first from North America to any destination worldwide (including codeshare partner or joint venture-operated) bought after December 9, 2020.
A Delta ticket Main Cabin and above for traveling between the United States and the Caribbean or Mexico.
A Basic Economy ticket is excluded.

Cancellation Charges and Fees

Suppose your ticket isn't included in Delta's "No Cancellation Fees" policy (i.e., a Basic Economy ticket for traveling on January 1, 2022, or after), then cancellation charges or fees apply and begin at $99. But the cost will depend on your itinerary and is subject to change at any time. You'll find the applicable fee listed in your ticket's Fare Rules. You'll also get the remaining value of the ticket back (after the cancellation fee or charge is deducted) as an eCredit. The eCredit's expiration date depends on your original ticket's terms and applicable waivers.

How to Cancel Your Delta Flight on Your Own

Cancel your ticket before departure (canceled or changed after departure won't have any remaining value).
Log in and click on "My Trips" or go here to find your trip.
Choose the trip you're trying to cancel.
Click on the "Cancel Flight" button and follow the instructions.

Can I Cancel My Delta Flight Within 24 Hours?

Many people want to know if they can cancel their delta flight within 24 hours. As part of Delta's "Customer Commitment," anyone who books their ticket through the Fly Delta app or directly on the delta.com website receives a "Risk-Free Cancellation." This means that after you buy an eTicket that qualifies, you'll have up to 24 hours after you book your flight to cancel and receive a full refund without any fees for any reason.

Here is the 24-Hour Risk-Free Cancellation process:

Log in and click on "My Trips" or "Find your Trip."
Choose the trip you want to cancel.
Click on the "Cancel Flight" button and follow the instructions.
Get back a full refund that will be issued to your initial form of payment automatically.

Delta will process your ticket refund when you cancel within 24 hours of booking your flight, but some credit card issuers or banks might hold the funds for a specific period. You'll want to contact your bank or card issuer directly for their specific policies on this.

What to Do if the Cancellation Window Has Passed?

If the 24-hour window has passed, whether you receive a refund from Delta or not will depend on the type of ticket you bought and its terms. It's always a good idea to go over the cancellation policy before buying your ticket just in case you do end up having to cancel or change your trip.
