Are you planning a trip with Delta Air Lines? We’re excited to have you onboard! To ensure your journey is smooth sailing, here’s a rundown of important information about fares, SkyMiles, baggage, and more.
Fares and SkyMiles
The prices you see for flights are real-time and available on delta.com. Remember that fares can change at any moment, so book quickly to secure the best deals. Are you a member of the SkyMiles program? If so, you can earn miles on most flights, making your future travels even more rewarding. Just keep in mind that Basic Economy fares don’t earn miles or count towards Medallion Status. For all the details on SkyMiles, check out our Membership Guide & Program Rules.
Basic Economy: What to Expect
Basic Economy tickets offer a budget-friendly way to travel, but they come with certain restrictions. For example, they’re non-refundable and non-changeable, so carefully consider your plans before booking. Also, seat assignment isn’t guaranteed until check-in, and you won’t be eligible for upgrades. Want to learn more about Basic Economy? We’ve got a dedicated page just for that.
Onboard Comfort and Convenience
The onboard experience can vary depending on the type of aircraft you’re flying on. We offer a variety of seat products and amenities designed to make your trip as comfortable as possible. Check out our information on seat products and Onboard Experience to learn more.
Baggage Fees: Know the Rules
Be sure to pack smart, as Delta charges fees for checked bags. The costs vary depending on your destination. For travel within the United States, the first checked bag costs $35, and the second is $45. Fees differ for international flights, so make sure to check the baggage rules for your specific route. For all the details, including weight and size limits, visit our Excess Baggage page or contact a Delta agent.
Award Travel: Redeeming Your Miles
Ready to use your hard-earned SkyMiles for a free trip? Award travel is a fantastic way to explore the world. Keep in mind that award seats are limited and may not be available on all flights, so book in advance. While taxes and fees are included in the price, there may be additional carrier-imposed charges that you’ll need to pay when booking your ticket. For all the details on Award Travel, including cancellation and change policies, visit our Travel With Miles page.
Flexibility and Changes
Life happens, and sometimes plans need to change. Most Delta tickets are non-refundable unless they meet the criteria of our cancellation policy. Be aware that Basic Economy tickets and those for travel outside the United States and Canada may have additional charges for changes or cancellations. For all the details on change and cancellation fees, check out our Change or Cancel Overview page.
