Just got the following email from Delta:
As a valued SkyMiles Member, we know how important safety and flexibility are to you, which is why we’re disinfecting before every flight with electrostatic spraying and intensive cleaning measures, requiring all travelers and employees to wear masks or face coverings, and eliminating change fees for select flights should your plans shift.
We’ve also extended middle seat blocking through the holiday season to give you greater peace of mind when visiting friends and family. In fact, Delta is the only U.S. carrier publicly committed to blocking middle seats through January 6, 2021.
