Welcome to Delta Air Lines, where we’re dedicated to providing you with a seamless and enjoyable travel experience. We understand that planning a trip can be exciting but also filled with questions. To help you navigate our offerings, we’ve compiled this guide outlining important information regarding fares, baggage policies, SkyMiles program, and travel updates.
Fare Information
Remember, our prices are based on real-time availability and can change, so book your flights early to secure the best deals. While we strive to offer competitive rates, please be aware that prices may fluctuate based on demand and other factors.
SkyMiles Program: Earn Rewards, Fly Higher
Our SkyMiles program is designed to reward your loyalty with exciting perks. Members earn miles on most flights, allowing them to redeem for exciting travel opportunities and other benefits.
However, it’s important to note that Basic Economy tickets do not earn SkyMiles or contribute towards Medallion Status. If you’re seeking mileage rewards and status upgrades, consider booking a higher fare class.
For a complete understanding of the program’s rules, benefits, and how to earn and redeem miles, be sure to visit our Membership Guide & Program Rules.
Basic Economy: Value-Focused Travel
Basic Economy fares are an affordable option, providing a simple way to travel without the bells and whistles. However, it’s crucial to be aware of the associated limitations.
Basic Economy tickets are non-refundable and non-changeable, offering less flexibility compared to higher fare classes. Additionally, seat assignments are only available at check-in, and upgrades are not permitted.
We encourage you to review the Basic Economy rules for a detailed overview of this fare type and its associated restrictions.
Onboard Comfort and Amenities
Delta strives to provide a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience for all passengers. The specific amenities available may vary depending on the aircraft type and size.

Baggage Policies: Know Before You Fly
To ensure a smooth journey, we recommend understanding our baggage policies before your trip.
For travel within the United States, the first checked bag carries a $35 USD fee, and the second bag is $45 USD. This fee applies to travel within the U.S., including Puerto Rico, and extends to travel between the U.S. and Canada.
For international destinations, baggage fees may vary. Please refer to our detailed baggage policy outlining fees for specific travel routes.

SkyMiles Award Travel: Redeem Your Miles for Adventure
Have you accumulated enough SkyMiles? Redeem them for exciting award travel, allowing you to explore new destinations with your hard-earned rewards.
While award seats are limited and may not be available on all flights, we encourage you to plan your dream trip in advance.
Remember that award travel is subject to taxes and fees, which are the passenger’s responsibility and must be paid at the time of booking.
