Canceled Delta Airlines flights, inability to travel for various reasons (accident, illness, family impediment, …)? If you wish to cancel the reservation you have made with this airline, you will be refunded in accordance with their refund policy.
Cancellation of ticket immediately after booking (24 hours)
If you cancel your flight within 24 hours of booking, you will be refunded the full amount of your ticket. If you cancel after one day but before 7 days before departure, you will receive a credit for the amount of your ticket which can be used on future Delta flights.
