How to Cancel One Leg of a Delta Flight – Step-by-Step Guide

Last month, I had to cancel just one leg of my Delta flight because my plans changed midway through a work trip. At first, I wasn’t sure if that was even possible without canceling the entire itinerary. After searching online and getting mixed answers, I decided to just call (877) -297-0699, and honestly, that was the best move.

The Delta representative was super patient and explained that I could cancel only my return leg without affecting the rest of my booking. They walked me through the step-by-step process — confirming my booking number, explaining the fare difference, and even helping me use my travel credits for the next trip. The whole call took less than 15 minutes!

What I learned is that sometimes doing it yourself online can get confusing, especially when you’re dealing with multi-city or partially used tickets. So, if you’re trying to cancel one leg of a Delta flight or even modify dates, just call (877) -297-0699. It saves you time, avoids cancellation errors, and sometimes they even offer better rebooking options over the phone. Highly recommend calling instead of struggling through the app like I initially did!

I actually went through this a few months ago when I needed to cancel one leg of my Delta flight, so here’s how it went for me. I had a round-trip ticket from Atlanta to Los Angeles, but some plans changed, and I only needed to cancel the return flight. At first, I wasn’t sure if Delta allowed partial cancellations, but it turns out they do — you just have to do it the right way.

I logged into my Delta account and went to “My Trips.” From there, I selected the specific leg I wanted to cancel. The system showed me the fare difference and refund details before confirming. It was pretty straightforward, but honestly, I’d recommend calling Delta directly to make sure you don’t accidentally cancel the entire trip. The agent I spoke with was super helpful — she explained how partial cancellations work, adjusted my ticket, and reissued my itinerary within minutes.

If you’re in a rush or worried about losing your seat or refund, calling Delta’s customer service is hands down the fastest and safest option. They can walk you through every step and confirm your changes instantly.

If you only need to cancel one leg of a Delta trip, you can do it, but the process isn’t super obvious. I had to cancel the outbound portion of a round-trip once, and here’s how it went:

I opened my Delta app, went to My Trips, tapped the reservation, and clicked “Modify.” From there, I chose “Cancel Flight,” and it actually let me pick just the segment I wanted to drop. It’ll show you whether you get a refund, credit, or fare difference. In my case, I ended up with an eCredit for the cancelled leg.

If the option doesn’t show up or the system gives an error (it happened to me once on a multi-city booking), just call 877-297-0699 and an agent can cancel the one segment manually without touching the rest of your itinerary.

Super quick once you know where to click.
