If your Delta Air Lines flight is cancelled, you are entitled to several options and protections, depending on the reason for the cancellation and the type of ticket you purchased. Here's what typically happens:

1. Automatic Rebooking

Delta will usually try to automatically rebook you on the next available flight to your destination at no extra cost. You will receive a notification via email, text message, or the Fly Delta app with your updated flight details. You can accept this new flight or explore other options.

2. Refund or eCredit

If Delta cancels your flight and you choose not to travel, you are eligible for:


  • A full refund to your original form of payment (even for non-refundable tickets).

  • Or, you can opt for a Delta eCredit to use on future travel.

Refunds can be requested through the “My Trips” section on Delta’s website or by calling customer service.

3. Compensation (in some cases)

If the cancellation is within Delta’s control (like mechanical issues or crew scheduling problems), and you are significantly delayed (usually more than 3 hours), you may be entitled to:

  • Meal vouchers

  • Hotel accommodations (if overnight stay is required)

  • Transportation to/from the hotel

  • In rare cases, compensation may be available depending on the route and local regulations.

Note: If the cancellation is due to weather, air traffic control, or other uncontrollable events, Delta is not obligated to provide compensation, but they still aim to assist with rebooking.

4. No-Show Protection

If you don’t cancel your flight after it's rescheduled or delayed and simply don’t show up, you could lose the value of your ticket. Always cancel or make changes proactively through Delta’s app, website, or by calling customer service.

5. Contact Options

If you need assistance due to a cancellation, you can:

  • Go to the Fly Delta app or delta.com to rebook or request a refund.

  • Call Delta customer service at +1-833-845-1858 for personalized help.

  • Speak with a gate agent or Delta representative at the airport.

Summary

If your Delta flight is cancelled:

  • You'll be rebooked automatically or given options.

  • You're eligible for a full refund or credit.

  • You may receive compensation or accommodations depending on the situation.
    Always check your email, app notifications, or Delta’s website for updates, and take action as soon as possible to secure the best alternative.
