I had to cancel a Delta flight last year when a work trip got pushed back. I was worried about crazy fees, but it turned out to depend on the type of ticket. My main cabin fare was refundable as an eCredit, so I just paid a small difference when I rebooked later. What really saved me time was calling 877-297-0699. I’d been stuck waiting online, but once I dialed that number, an agent sorted it out in minutes—no endless hold music. Honestly, the cancellation cost wasn’t nearly as bad as I expected, and having someone walk me through the options made the process way less stressful.
