Review of Delta App

My original flight 3/9 was canceled from JAX to RIC via LGA and Delta rescheduled me on another flight via JFK. Then my departure from JAX to JFK was delayed so much so that my arrival into RIC was being further pushed back. I was given the option to change my flight at no cost which I opted to do but I was not able to see what seats were available. I thought at some point I would be given the option to see available seats prior to finalizing the change but that never occurred. After accepting the change I found I didn’t have a seat assignment on the departure and I was assigned a middle seat (which I despise) on the connection. A passenger should be given the option to see what seats are available before making a change. I can assure you had I known prior to accepting the change that I would have to wait to be assigned a seat at the airport and that I would only have a middle seat on the connection I would not have changed from the rescheduled flight. Then to add insult to injury I used points to sit in Delta comfort from JAX to LGA because of the length of the flight. I no longer want to use points on either leg of the flights via ATL and I sincerely hope my points will be deposited back into my account. I had aisle seats (which I prefer) on both my original flights and I’m very disappointed I don’t have them on either flight tomorrow. I apologize for such a lengthy message; I didn’t expect to have to deal with flight changes that would disrupt my trip.

Change of flight times

After several lights changes since the time I originally booked, my international layover went from 1 hour and 45 minutes to only 40 minutes. A 45 minute layover for an international connection is not enough time, especially as I am flying with a family of five, this forced asked to switch flights. In doing so, I lost the upgraded seats I initially used points for. This would not have been a big deal, but it is highly disappointing that delta would not reimburse you for the points lost due to a change on their end. This policy really needs changed. In addition, the four hour plus waiting to talk to a representative force me to try to utilize the chat function. Even though I know I was able to speak to somebody relatively quickly, I made it all the way to having new flights but the person I was talking to left the chat. Waited a while and then the screen turned out causing me to start over. OK I thought, disappointing but just a fluke, but what do you know it happened again. The second time, I am mediately typed “representative“ and then we can immediately going through the process with a third agent. At least this time all the previous chat information was still up for her to review instead of starting back from scratch. The system need some bugs worked out, it’s also very hard to read on an iPhone.

Unable to upgrade

I had an opportunity to upgrade for a flight and was traveling with another individual. On my app, the seats weren’t available, but was showing availability for who I was traveling with. I tried contacting Delta to discuss the problem and they were unsuccessful with helping and said that they couldn’t see any availability from their end and to check the website. The person that I was traveling with was able to see availability and called to request the seats since we were both traveling on the same flight together. We were told that they would give us a voluntary change since it didn’t show availability on my app. The person I was traveling with didn’t have medallion status and was able to see first class tickets available for the first leg of the international flight, but wasn’t able to upgrade to first class on the flight home. However, I was given the option to upgrade to first class on the last portion of my flight instead of the international portion. I then was told that in order to upgrade, I would have to upgrade the entire flight. I thought that was ridiculous because I didn’t have to do that going on my trip. I had regular seating and then first class for the longer portion of the trip. I should be able to upgrade regardless if it’s available on another person’s app and we are traveling together and both AREN’T MEDALLION MEMBERS. How ridiculous…

How to change or cancel a Delta Air Lines flight

Delta Air Lines used to have one of the most restrictive change and cancellation policies . But once the pandemic hit and airlines started to loosen up, Delta followed suit. The Delta cancellation policy and Delta refund policy are now quite favorable and in line with most other major U.S. carriers.

No matter which fare class you purchase, you'll likely be able to cancel your Delta flight. And you'll no longer face incredibly high fees when changing or canceling most fare types.

With the current Delta refund policy, you'll be in a better situation than in the past if your plans change and you need to change or cancel a Delta flight. If that situation does arise, here's everything you need to know.

Canceling a Delta flight

Cancel a paid Delta reservation

When purchasing a Delta Air Lines flight, there are three fare options: basic economy, nonrefundable and refundable. The nonrefundable and refundable options will give you the most flexibility, whereas basic economy options are relatively restrictive.

When searching for flights on the Delta Air Lines website, you'll typically see a few options: Basic, Main, Comfort+, First and Delta One (depending on the type of plane).

You can book Main, Comfort+, First and Delta One fares as nonrefundable or refundable. You'll usually see the nonrefundable option by default unless you select the "refundable" checkbox during your search.

But after selecting a nonrefundable flight, a pop-up will usually show you the price difference between nonrefundable and refundable fares.

You can usually cancel a Delta basic economy ticket , but you'll typically face a fee. Canceling basic economy fares for travel within the U.S. or to Mexico, the Caribbean or Central America costs $99, while other routes cost $199.

If you cancel a basic economy ticket, you'll receive an eCredit for the remaining value. However, with the ongoing pandemic, you'll want to see if Delta has released any waivers for basic economy flights. Typically, eCredits would expire a year after they are received. But, due to the pandemic, Delta has extended all eCredits through Dec. 31, 2023.

Nonrefundable tickets, on the other hand, have no fees for canceling travel originating in North America. If you need to cancel your ticket, you'll end up with an eCredit for the full amount paid. However, for flights originating outside North America, you'll still be on the hook for a fee of up to $500 based on the Delta cancellation policy. Specifically, for tickets originating in Europe, the cancellation fee is 150 euros (about $158); and for tickets originating in Africa, the Middle East and India, the cancellation fee is $199.

There are a few caveats to the above rules, though. For travel originating in Mexico, you cannot change your ticket, so, the Delta refund policy won't give you anything if you need to cancel. Additionally, for travel originating in Korea, you'll receive the refund back to your original form of payment (after Delta deducts the respective cancellation fee) instead of an eCredit.

Additionally, for all flights originating in the U.S. — even basic economy flights — you can cancel within 24-hours of making the reservation for a full refund.

If you purchase a refundable ticket and need to cancel, you'll receive the full amount paid back to your original form of payment without any fees. While refundable tickets typically cost more to buy, if you think there's a good chance you'll have to cancel and you don't want to worry about a Delta credit, buying a refundable ticket might be your best option.

To be eligible for a Delta refund, you'll need to cancel your flight before departure. If you are a "no show" (which means not showing up for your flight without changing or canceling prior), you'll lose the entire value of your ticket. Additionally, Delta will cancel any remaining flights on your itinerary.

Cancel a Delta reservation booked with miles

Redeeming Delta miles for your flight will typically give you the most flexibility if you need to cancel. All award flights, except those booked as basic economy awards, can be canceled before the flight's departure with no fee. Once canceled, the miles used for the flight will go back to the account they were booked from — again, with no redeposit fee. The taxes and fees paid will also go back to the original form of payment.

You can cancel basic economy award tickets, but Delta will deduct between 9,900 and 19,900 miles from the cost of your mileage ticket. For flights within the U.S., or to Canada, Mexico, Central America or the Caribbean, Delta will charge you 9,900 miles. For all other flights, you're looking at a 19,900 mileage fee. Delta will deduct this fee from the miles you paid before refunding the remaining miles to your account. The only way around the Delta cancellation policy (and this cancellation fee) is if you cancel your Delta flight within 24 hours of making the reservation.

Additionally, Delta used to have a policy where you couldn't change or cancel a flight within 72-hours of the flight's departure. Fortunately, this is no longer the case and you can cancel your flight within that "last minute" window.

How to cancel a Delta flight

Delta has made it incredibly easy to cancel a flight online. While you can always call to cancel, there's a good chance you'll wait on hold for a substantial amount of time .

Instead, in your Delta account, go to "My Trips." All of your upcoming flights should appear, or you can find a specific itinerary by entering your first name, last name and confirmation number. Once you are in the itinerary that you want to cancel, click the "Modify" button at the top.

You'll then have the option to change or cancel your flight. If you're canceling a Delta flight, you'll want to select the "cancel" button. Delta lists the cost of the flight along with the refund details. From there, you can go ahead and confirm the cancellation.

Although Delta's official policy is to redeposit miles within 72 hours, I've always received my miles back almost immediately.

Changing a Delta flight

Change a paid Delta reservation

There might be a situation where you want to change your upcoming Delta Air Lines reservation instead of canceling. While this is possible for some reservations, the structure works similarly to canceling and rebooking.

As I discussed above, there are three different reservation types: basic economy, nonrefundable and refundable.

Basic economy tickets do not allow flight changes. Instead, you'll need to cancel your Delta flight (with the associated fees discussed above) and then book your desired flight.

But, you can change nonrefundable and refundable reservations without going through the hassle of canceling and rebooking. You'll be charged the same fees as canceling a flight for nonrefundable fares ($0 to $500, depending on where the flight originates). But, for fully refundable flights, there's no fee to change your flight.

If the flight price has gone up, you'll need to pay the fare difference in both circumstances. But, if your flight has gone down in price, you'll end up with an eCredit for the difference in the price paid and the new fare cost. According to the Delta refund policy, fully refundable flights will receive the price difference back to their form of payment.

Even if you're not looking to change your flight, if you noticed that your originally scheduled flight has gone down in price, you can go through the change process to receive the difference back. To do this, select your same flight by following the "change flight" process below.

Change a Delta reservation booked with miles

Changing a Delta reservation booked with miles follows the same policies as paid reservations. As such, basic economy awards can't be changed and instead need to be canceled (with the respective fees) and then rebooked.

You can change to a different flight for no fee on all other tickets. However, you'll need to pay the difference in miles if your flight costs more. Alternatively, if the number of miles required has dropped, you'll receive the difference back into your account. Similar to paid fares, this policy will help you reprice an award ticket if your flight has decreased in miles.

Change a Delta reservation within 24 hours of travel

In 2021, Delta made customer-friendly improvements for those looking to change their flight last minute — which means within 24 hours of the originally scheduled departure. There are two options for flights within the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands: same-day confirmed and same-day standby.

If your flight has gone up in price, utilizing one of these two options will save you more money than simply changing your flight to the more expensive flight. Unfortunately, these options are not available if you have a basic economy ticket.

For same-day confirmed changes, if a seat in your originally purchased fare class (or a downgraded fare class) is available, you can change your ticket to a confirmed seat on a new flight (for the same day of travel with the same the departure and arrival cities). The cost is $75, or complimentary for those with Delta Diamond, Platinum or Gold status. You can confirm a same-day seat through your account on the Delta App .

If the same-day confirmed option isn't available, you can use same-day standby to wait for a seat on an earlier flight on the same day as your original flight. Delta will keep your original reservation intact unless it can assign you a seat on the earlier flight. There is no fee for this option.

How to change a Delta flight

Changing a Delta flight can be done online through your Delta account. The start of the process is similar to if you were to cancel your flight.

In your Delta account's "My trip" section, you'll see your upcoming flights. Similar to canceling a flight, you'll want to click the "Modify" button in the specific itinerary you need to change. You'll then want to select the "Start flight change" button.

From there, you'll want to enter the new airports and departure date.

Once you select your new flight, the right-side rail will inform you of the difference in miles — if there is a difference — and your total cost or refund. Delta will also tell you if there's a difference in the taxes and fees. You then must click the "Complete change" button on the bottom to confirm your change.

Change fee waivers for a schedule change

Delta Air Lines goes through schedule changes quite often. If you have a flight that you need to cancel or change, you might be better off waiting to see if there is a schedule change . After all, a schedule change may let you change or cancel your flight easier or with fewer fees.

Even though Delta has done away with most fees, a few ticket types still incur a fee, such as basic economy tickers. But, a schedule change may let you change to another flight with no fare difference. It can also allow you to get a full refund to your original form of payment — if you want to cancel — instead of an eCredit.

Related: What to do when an airline changes your flight

Usually, you'll receive an email when there's a schedule change. Delta will usually notify you if your flight qualifies for a fee waiver. Or, if you see one of the following situations occur, you can call Delta and request a new flight as well:

• A delay of 120 minutes or more.
• A change in the routing of a scheduled Delta flight that adds one or more stops to the original itinerary.
• A change in equipment from Delta Mainline to Delta Connection carrier.
• Any change that causes a misconnect.
• If a flight cancels and no comparable or acceptable routing is available within 120 minutes.

If any of the above situations happen, you can opt for a new flight on the same day as the originally scheduled flight. The flight has to be the same origin and destination and the same class of service. Previously, Delta allowed you to change to a flight one day before or after, but this is no longer the case.

The above scenarios may also unlock the possibility of a full refund on a nonrefundable ticket.

Bottom line

Delta's cancellation policy is now extremely customer friendly if you need to cancel or change an upcoming flight. For flights originating in North America, there's no fee to cancel a flight as long as you don't hold a basic economy ticket.

Thanks to the current Delta refund policy, paid fares will receive an eCredit (unless you booked a fully refundable fare) and those booked on miles will see the full amount of miles deposited back into their account.

Although Delta used to have one of the most stringent policies, it's nice to see that it has come around to making flight cancellations and changes easier for its members. This helps travelers book a flight even if they aren't 100% sure of their upcoming plans — especially when redeeming miles.

Delta opens a new gateway to Asia with first-ever nonstop route from Salt Lake City to Seoul

Delta is boosting its global footprint with the launch of its first-ever nonstop service from Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) to Seoul-Incheon International Airport (ICN) on June 12, 2025.

Delta’s leading position at Salt Lake City  

As Delta’s fifth direct U.S. route to Seoul, the new SLC-ICN flight joins Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Seattle in connecting U.S. travelers to Asia. With this addition, Delta—together with partner Korean Air—offers access to Seoul from 14 U.S. gateways, providing the most extensive reach across Asia through the ICN hub compared to any other trans-Pacific joint venture. This route also further solidifies Delta’s position as the largest long-haul foreign carrier at Incheon, enhancing its already unmatched reach across Asia.  

Lee Hag-jae, President of Incheon International Airport Corporation, shared, “I’m confident that Incheon Airport will continue to grow as a global hub through our partnership with Delta Air Lines. Together, we aim to set the standard for airline partnerships, sharing a vision of leading the global aviation market as a top-tier airport and airline.”    This historic route solidifies Delta’s leadership in Salt Lake City, where it operates more flights than all other carriers combined. Delta’s robust presence includes nearly 250 peak-day departures to more than 90 destinations worldwide, featuring nonstop service to other international cities like Amsterdam, London, Paris, and Mexico City, among others.  

Delta’s strong presence at SLC is further bolstered by ongoing investments in the airport’s infrastructure. In 2020, Delta celebrated the opening of the 900,000-square-foot Concourse A, featuring 50 Delta gates and 19 new restaurants and shops. By 2027, the airline will add even more gates, ensuring the hub remains a premier domestic and international gateway.    Travelers passing through Salt Lake City can also indulge in Delta’s world-class amenities, including the  28,000-square-foot Delta Sky Club. Offering panoramic mountain views from the Sky Deck and a 360-degree fireplace, the lounge provides a relaxing haven for customers before they embark on their journey to Seoul. 

Utah Gov. Spencer J. Cox  said, “As we open this new gateway to Asia, I am excited to expand Utah’s global reach and foster new cultural and business partnerships. Delta’s commitment to our state underscores Utah’s growing role on the world stage. I was delighted to meet with President Yoon Suk Yeol and discuss how this new route will deepen connections between Utah and Korea.” 

Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall said, “Strong partnerships can often have the biggest impacts on visitors and our residents. From Delta’s Salt Lake City hub, the Incheon route will connect our capital city with 80-plus destinations in Asia, expanding our community’s global reach and what so many already know. Salt Lake City and the Mountain West are among the best places to visit and an even better place to call home.”

Delta says chaos after CrowdStrike outage cost it $550 million

Delta Air Lines  on Thursday said last month’s  CrowdStrike  outage and subsequent mass flight cancellations cost it some $550 million and reiterated that it is pursuing  legal claims  against the company as well as  Microsoft .

The financial impact includes a $380 million revenue hit in the current quarter “primarily driven by refunding customers for cancelled flights and providing customer compensation in the form of cash and SkyMiles,” the Atlanta-based airline said in a securities filing.

The incident, in which it canceled some 7,000 flights, also meant a $170 million expense “associated with the technology-driven outage and subsequent operational recovery,” the carrier said, adding that its fuel bill will likely be $50 million lower because of the scrubbed flights.

Delta  struggled  more than its competitors to recover from the July 19 outage, which took millions of Windows-based machines offline around the world. The disruptions occurred at the height of the summer travel season, leaving thousands of Delta customers stranded, a rare incident for the carrier that markets itself as a  premium carrier  that gets top marks for reliability.

“An operational disruption of this length and magnitude is unacceptable, and our customers and employees deserve better,” CEO Ed Bastian said in the filing. “Since the incident, our people have returned the operation to an industry-leading position that is consistent with the level of performance our customers expect from Delta.”

• Weekly jobless claims fall to 233,000, less than expected, in a positive sign for labor market
• Restaurant Brands revenue tops estimates, fueled by Tim Hortons

Delta’s New Rule: Jobseekers, Flight Attendants’ Undergarments ‘Must Not Be Visible’

Delta Airlines' new rule bans trainees and flight attendants from wearing visible undergarments.

Delta Airlines has a new policy for potential hires and current flight attendants that bans them from wearing visible undergarments.

As the airline continues its hiring spree for new flight attendants, a two-page memo outlining “appearance requirements” for applicants was issued earlier this month. The memo detailed Delta’s expectations for grooming, hair, jewelry, and clothing, including specific guidelines for undergarments during a candidates’ interview process, throughout training, and for the entire career with the airline.

“Proper undergarments must be worn but must not be visible,” the airline states in the “Clothing” section of the Appearance Guidelines.

Clothing must also be “professional and fit properly,” the airline clarified. Other rules include dresses and/or skirts that fall below the knee, closed-toe shoes that aren’t athletic, and ties with a buttoned collared shirt for men who choose to wear the uniform. Over on the grooming sides of the guidelines, “Aftershave, cologne and perfume may be used if applied lightly,” while eyelashes must “appear natural” and should not have “extreme length and volume.”

Other rules include trimmed facial hair and nails as well as nails that are all the same color, don’t have bright neon colors, and are chip-free. Hair must be a natural-looking color with “no stark highlights or unnatural shades,” the memo states. Hair that touches or is longer than the shoulder “must be pulled completely back and secured away from the eyes.”

The updated Appearance Guidelines are to help the potential hires give a good representation of themselves and the company when interacting with customers.

“In the interest of transparency and clarity for all prospective candidates, we are encouraging people to ‘dress for success’ and give a great first impression as they aspire to join the flight attendant ranks,” Delta said

However, the memo garnered criticism when it was shared on Reddit by someone who wanted to know, “Is this for real?” There were many who defended the memo and said they didn’t find anything wrong with it.

“What is the problem here? I’m inferring that they don’t want to see things like the tops of boxers, whale tails, or neon lace bras peeking out from under low-cut tops,” one person wrote.

“There’s nothing eyebrow-raising about this and I’m pretty sure my airline said something similar,” added someone else. “You’d be surprised how people show up to an interview where your appearance 100% matters.”

The appearance requirements aren’t too surprising when looking at recent findings that suggest Gen Z and recent college graduates lack understanding of how to dress professionally for job interviews. A survey of 800 managers done earlier this year revealed that nearly half of Gen Z applicants fail to dress appropriately for job interviews.

The research found that one in five employers reported that recent college graduates are underprepared for the workplace, citing poor eye contact, inappropriate attire, and unrealistic salary expectations as the top concerns. All this could be why Delta found it necessary to update its appearance guidelines and make it clear what a potential hire should look like when on the clock.
