Delta Airlines Cancelation Policy
In this section, we will discuss Delta Airlines cancelation policy. It is divided into sub-sections so that you can easily refer to specific parts of the policy that you need right now rather than going through the entire cancelation policy.
Now, let’s get started.
Cancelation Policy applies within 24 hours of booking
Basic Economy
In the case of Delta Basic Economy tickets, cancelation is allowed if it is done within 24 hours of booking. In other words, you can cancel your Delta flight reservation of the basic economy nature if it is not beyond 24 hours from the day of booking.
Further, when you cancel your Delta basic economy ticket within 24 hours of booking, you don’t have to pay a cancelation fee. Otherwise, a cancelation fee applies — when a flight ticket is canceled after 24 hours of making a reservation.
However, in the case of basic economy, Delta doesn’t allow you to cancel your ticket after 24 hours of booking — even with a cancelation fee.
Non-Refundable Tickets
If you have booked a Delta non-refundable ticket, you can cancel it without a cancelation fee within 24 hours of booking. However, if you do so after 24 hours of booking, a cancelation fee applies.
Refundable/Flex Tickets
For the cancelation of a refundable Delta ticket, there applies no cancelation charge within 24 hours of booking. In other words, if you cancel a refundable Delta ticket within 24 hours of booking, you don’t have to pay a cancelation fee.
Cancelation Policy applies after 24 hours of booking
Basic Economy
Under Delta Airlines’ cancelation policy, the flexibility of 24 hours is referred to as the 24-HR Risk-Free Cancelation Period. It simply means that during the period, you can cancel a flight without any cancelation charges.
Anyways, after the 24-hour risk-free cancelation period, or 24 hours of booking, you can still cancel your Basic Economy flight. However, a cancelation fee applies to you. The applicable cancelation fee would range from $99 to $199.
Non-Refundable Tickets
If you have a non-refundable Delta ticket and you want to cancel it after 24 hours of booking, it is allowed with a cancelation fee. However, in some cases, it might not require you to pay a cancelation fee. Still, if a cancelation fee applies to you, it may range from $50 to $500.
Refundable/Flex Tickets
If you want to cancel a Delta refundable ticket after 24 hours of booking, it is allowed and you can do so without any cancelation charges. Further, it is because your ticket is a refundable one in itself thus you don’t have to pay any cancelation fee whenever you do the cancelation.
Cancelation Policy applies within 24 hours of departure
The cancelation policy of Delta within 24 hours of departure is similar to that of after-24 hours of booking.
Basic Economy
Within the day of the scheduled departure, if you cancel a Delta ticket of Basic economy nature, a cancelation fee applies to you ranging from $99 to $199.
Non-Refundable Tickets
In the case of the cancelation of a non-refundable Delta ticket within 24 hours of departure, a cancelation fee applies to you that may range from $0 to $500. The $0 dollars signifies that it may be the case that no cancelation fee applies to you.
Refundable/Flex Tickets
If you cancel a refundable Delta ticket on the day when you are supposed to depart, you can do so without a cancelation fee. And, that is because your ticket is refundable.
Thus, in other words, no cancelation fee applies to you if you cancel a refundable ticket of Delta Airlines even on the day of flight departure.

However, a cancelation fee will apply to you. If you want to get a general overview of cancelation fees, you can refer to the Delta Airlines cancelation policy mentioned above;

Delta Airlines Refund Policy
Now, let’s discuss Delta Airlines’ refund policy in detail. The following sections talk about the same in great detail. Thus if you need to consult the policy, you can refer to them.
Refund Policy applies within 24 hours of booking
Basic Economy
If you cancel a Delta Basic Economy ticket within 24 hours of booking, you are eligible for a refund. Moreover, you will get refunded without any cancelation and refund fees.
Non-Refundable Tickets
If you have a Delta non-refundable ticket and you want to cancel it for a refund within 24 hours of booking, you are allowed to do so. In other words — in that case — you are eligible for a refund without a cancelation and refund fee.
That is because when you request a cancelation and refund for any Delta ticket type within 24 hours of booking, 24-Hr risk-free cancelation policy of Delta Airlines applies to you.
Thus without any refund fee, you can get a full refund after the cancelation of a non-refundable ticket within 24 hours of booking.
Refundable/Flex Tickets
Similar is the thing in the case of a refundable ticket if you cancel the refundable ticket not beyond 24 hours from the day of booking, you are allowed to cancel your ticket and get a full refund in exchange for the cancelation without any charges.
Refund Policy applies after 24 hours of booking
Basic Economy
If you cancel a Basic Economy ticket after 24 hours of booking, Delta Airlines allows you to do that. The only condition is that you have to pay a cancelation fee for the same. Only with a cancelation fee, it is possible for you to do that.
In other words, you cannot cancel a Basic Economy flight ticket issued by Delta Airlines after 24 hours of booking without a cancelation fee.
The cancelation fee that applies, in that case, would range from $99-$199. Therefore, on the occasion of the basic economy flight cancelation after 24 hours of booking, you will receive an eCredit in exchange for the cancelation. The eCredit will be of the same value as the remaining value after excluding the applicable cancelation fee out of the original value of the canceled ticket.
That is all. You don’t get refunded in cash or your native currency in the original form of payment. You can use the eCredit for purchasing any future Delta flights. However, such eCredits are issued with some validity.
For example, the maximum period to use an eCredit towards the purchase of a Delta flight is one year. Thus if you don’t use the eCredit within the period, it becomes void — valueless or useless. Now, you cannot use it to make any purchases.
So, this is the refund policy of Delta Airlines for passengers who are booked to fly Basic Economy. All the following sections deal with the refund policies corresponding to the non-refundable and refundable tickets of Delta Airlines.
Non-Refundable Tickets
In the case of non-refundable tickets issued by Delta Airlines, flight cancelation is not allowed if you want to do it free of cost. Putting it differently, a fee —- a cancelation fee — would apply and you will be required to pay the same.
And, even after the cancelation with a cancelation fee, you cannot receive a full refund but an eCredit of the same value as remains after reducing the applicable cancelation fee from the ticket canceled.
You can use the eCredit to purchase a new flight on Delta Airlines. However, you can only use such eCredits for a certain period of time. That is all about the refund policy of Delta Airlines that corresponds to non-refundable tickets.
Refundable/Flex Tickets
Refundable tickets are also known as flex tickets and you can purchase them when you want to secure a full refund in exchange for the flight cancelation initiated at any time — whether within 24 hours of booking, after 24 hours of booking, and finally within 24 hours of departure.
So, in the case of a refundable ticket, even after 24 hours of making the reservation, you can cancel and request a full refund without any cancelation and refund charges. And, where the other types of Delta tickets are issued an eCredit, all the refundable tickets are eligible for full refunds.
Thus you can get a full refund for the cancelation of a refundable ticket after 24 hours of booking. And, that is available without a cancelation fee.
Refund Policy applies within 24 hours of departure
Now, let’s discuss Delta Airlines’ refund policy that is applicable to a passenger who cancels their flight within 24 hours of departure. This is exactly the same as the policy that applies after 24 hours of making reservations.
Basic Economy
On the occasion of Basic economy flight cancelations on Delta Airlines, refunds are not allowed within 24 hours of departure. In other words, when you cancel a Delta basic economy flight on the same day as the day of departure, you cannot get any refund.
However, instead of the refund, you will still get an eCredit. And, the eCredit will hold such value of money that remains after deducting the applicable cancelation fee from the itinerary you have recently canceled.
Further, you can use such an eCredit for making purchases with Delta Airlines in the nearest future. However, every eCredit issued by Delta Airlines comes with a validity period. You don’t need to worry you will get the validity information when Delta issues any of such eCredits to you.
