How Does The Delta 24 Hour Rule Work
Delta offers a 24 hour risk free cancellation policy for eligible bookings. This gives travelers time to correct mistakes or change their plans without paying a cancellation fee.
If you booked the wrong date time or destination you can cancel your reservation within the first 24 hours and make a new booking with the correct travel details.
Is There A Change Fee
For eligible reservations there is usually no change fee within the first 24 hours of booking.
However if your new flight costs more than your original ticket you will need to pay the fare difference. If the new flight is less expensive your refund or remaining value will depend on the fare rules.
