Understanding Your Rights

Cancellation Policy Before purchasing a Delta ticket, be sure to review the cancellation policy. Delta allows you to cancel your reservation or make changes within 24 hours after purchasing it, without incurring costs. Additional fees may be charged depending on which fare class was selected.

Involuntary flight cancellations You may be entitled to compensation if Delta cancels a flight due to reasons outside your control. These include weather, mechanical problems, or schedule conflicts with the crew. Compensation can include a refund in full, a rebooking for the next flight available, or overnight accommodations if necessary.

Voluntary flight changes If you choose to make a change to your flight, Delta policies will determine what fees and compensations you are entitled to. It's important to check these restrictions before making any changes to your itinerary.

Passenger Rights Read the "Passenger Bill of Rights" which sets out standards for compensation to passengers in case of delays or cancellations. These rights can vary from one country to another and may affect your eligibility for compensation.

Compensation Options

Full refund in most cases you are entitled to a complete refund of the ticket price in case your flight is cancelled unexpectedly. The refund will be processed as quickly as possible. You can choose to receive it as a credit or in your original payment method.

Rebooking: Delta will provide you with an extra seat for free on the next flight to your destination. You can also talk to the customer service at +1-332-699 4898 if this option doesn't work for you.

Meals and Hotel: Depending on the circumstances, Delta could provide food coupons and hotel accommodations if your flight was canceled. You may be eligible to receive reimbursement for any expenses you incur as a consequence of your flight delay.

Compensation in Case of Significant Delays If you are entitled to compensation if your flight is delayed significantly, then you can claim it under certain conditions. For example, the Regulation 261/2004 of the European Union. These rules are usually applicable to delays that last three hours or more.

Consider purchasing travel insurance to provide additional protection in case of flight cancellation. It can sometimes cover costs such as meals, lodging and even trip cancellation.
