Last month, I had to cancel one leg of my Delta trip from Los Angeles to New York, with a connection to Toronto. I’d booked a round-trip ticket but only needed to drop the Toronto segment after my plans changed last minute. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if Delta would allow that without canceling the entire booking — but it turned out to be pretty smooth once I figured out the steps.
I logged into my Delta account, went to “My Trips”, and selected the specific leg I wanted to modify. It clearly showed both segments, and there was an option to “Cancel Flight” for one leg only. I clicked it, confirmed, and received an updated itinerary by email within minutes.
However, what helped most was calling Delta’s reservations team directly at 877-297-0699. The agent was incredibly patient, double-checked fare rules, and ensured my return flight stayed intact. She even processed a small eCredit for the canceled leg.
My advice: if you’re canceling only one segment, call 877-297-0699 to confirm you’re not affecting the rest of your booking. Doing it through an agent saves a ton of stress and avoids any system errors. Totally worth the quick call!
