This is your one-stop shop for everything you need to know about flying with Delta. From booking your flight to knowing what to expect when you arrive, we’ll guide you through all the details to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey. Buckle up and let’s dive in!
SkyMiles: Your Rewards Await
Want to earn miles for your travels? Delta’s SkyMiles program is your go-to for rewarding your loyalty. You can earn miles on most flights, but keep in mind that tickets booked in Basic Economy don’t earn you miles or contribute to your Medallion Status. Want to know more about the program? Dive into the Membership Guide & Program Rules for all the details on mile accrual, redemption, and travel benefits.
Booking Your Flight: Making It Easy
Let’s get you booked! Basic Economy fares, while offering affordable prices, come with a few things to consider. These tickets are non-refundable and non-changeable. You won’t get a pre-assigned seat until you check in, and upgrades are off the table. Need a clear picture of what Basic Economy entails? Check out the Basic Economy rules for a full rundown of all the specifics and restrictions.
Onboard Experience: Comfort and Convenience
What can you expect on your Delta flight? Well, it depends! Seat configuration and amenities differ depending on the aircraft type and size. Get a better idea of your seat options and what to expect onboard by exploring Delta’s detailed information about their seat products and Onboard Experience.
Baggage: Packing and Fees
Before you start packing, let’s talk baggage fees. They vary depending on your destination and ticket type. For domestic travel within the United States, you’ll be charged $35 for your first checked bag and $45 for your second.
For international travel, the fees depend on your destination. Here’s a breakdown of some common routes:
