Last month, I had to cancel my Delta flight from Seattle to Miami because of a sudden work trip that popped up. Honestly, I was a bit nervous because I’d heard mixed things about airline cancellation fees. But it turned out way smoother than I expected.
Here’s what I did — I first checked Delta’s website and found that most main cabin and higher fares don’t have a cancellation fee anymore, but Basic Economy does. Mine was Main Cabin, so I was eligible for a full eCredit instead of losing money. Still, the website process felt a little confusing with all the fare types and refund rules.
So I called (877) -297-0699, and that was honestly the best decision. The Delta rep picked up in under five minutes, explained everything clearly, and even helped me rebook for a later date with no extra charge.
If you’re unsure about your ticket type or what fees might apply, just call that number. It’s the fastest way to confirm costs, get instant cancellation help, or even rebook without wasting time. I’ve done both online and phone cancellations before, and trust me — calling saves way more stress.
