How much it costs to cancel a Delta Air Lines flight depends mainly on your fare type and when you cancel. If you cancel a Basic Economy or standard refundable ticket after 24 hours from booking, you may not get money back — you’ll usually get a travel credit instead, and fees can apply depending on the route and fare rules. With most non-Basic fare types, Delta doesn’t charge a cancellation fee, and you can keep the value of your ticket as a credit for future travel (minus any difference in fare). If you’re unsure what applies to your reservation, checking the fare rules in “My Trips” or contacting Delta directly can clarify the cost.
