Get ready to take flight with Delta Air Lines! We offer a range of travel options to suit every traveler’s needs and budget. But before you pack your bags, let’s explore some important details to ensure your journey is smooth and enjoyable.
Earning Miles with SkyMiles
As a member of our SkyMiles program, you can earn miles on most Delta flights, letting you unlock exciting rewards and travel perks. Just remember, Basic Economy fares don’t earn miles or contribute towards Medallion Status. To dive deeper into the program, explore our Membership Guide & Program Rules for all the juicy details on earning, redeeming, and enjoying your miles!
Basic Economy: Budget-Friendly Travel
For budget-conscious travelers, Basic Economy offers a cost-effective way to fly. However, it comes with a few things to keep in mind. These fares are non-refundable and non-changeable, meaning you can’t get your money back or modify your flight once booked. Plus, seat assignments are only available at check-in, and upgrades aren’t an option. To get a full understanding of Basic Economy’s ins and outs, check out our detailed Basic Economy rules.
Comfortable Travel on Board
While Basic Economy fares may be budget-friendly, Delta offers various seat products and onboard amenities to enhance your comfort and make your flight enjoyable. Remember, seat configuration and available amenities may vary depending on the aircraft type, so be sure to familiarize yourself with the Onboard Experience before your flight.
Baggage Fees: Packing Essentials
When it comes to your luggage, be aware that checked bag fees may apply depending on your destination and fare type. Within the United States (including Puerto Rico), the first checked bag costs $35 USD, and the second bag costs $45 USD. Fees for international destinations vary, so it’s best to check the specific rates before your trip. For a comprehensive overview, head to our Excess Baggage section, or ask a Delta agent for assistance.
Award Travel: Redeeming Your Miles
Ready to travel the world using your precious SkyMiles? Award travel opens up a world of possibilities, letting you explore incredible destinations using your hard-earned miles. While award seats are limited, they offer a fantastic way to experience luxurious travel. Remember, Award Travel is subject to taxes, fees, and carrier-imposed charges that must be paid at the time of booking. For a full rundown of Award Travel policies, visit our Travel With Miles page.
Making Changes to Your Trip
Life happens, and sometimes your travel plans need a little adjustment. While most tickets are non-refundable, Delta’s cancellation policy might offer some flexibility. Be aware that Basic Economy tickets and those issued for travel outside the United States and Canada have specific fees associated with changes or cancellations. To avoid surprises, familiarize yourself with our Change or Cancel Overview page, which provides detailed information about fees and procedures.
