Delta Master Thread

[Mr. CC]

Assuming they cancel with enough advance notice, they reach out to you or you need to contact them?
Do you usually rebook with Elal for the same dates?
Thanks.

You have to contact them, you would usually be able to pick ANY date.

We thought we were getting 1 checked bag free but received this in an email.
What does this mean? Are we getting 1 free checked bag?
Thanks.

1st bag free, 2nd bag would cost $100

I just find it hard to believe that Elal would have seats for everyone on Delta.

They don’t automatically rebook you. It’s whoever jumps on it first

Yes,
Tip: I'd book round trip as the rates are only marginally higher than one way

Thank you, and appreciate the tip. Are all Delta miles refundable for a round trip ticket for Elal flights (booked through Delta using Delta miles and originating in the USA) as well? Found a round trip on Elal for 72K Delta miles and ~$60.  Was too good to pass up, but wondering if I need to cancel last minute if I will have any issues, lose miles, etc.

Yes. Fully refundable.

The Delta reps are telling me this....

For Basic Economy ticket, the cancellation charge for domestic travel is $99 and $199 for international flights. If you book the flights using Miles, it is 9,900 SkyMiles to cancel a domestic ticket and 19,900 SkyMiles to cancel an international ticket. Please let me know if you have additional questions.

[Mr. CC]

When changing a return flight that was booked with miles.
Any difference if it's before the 1st leg was flown or after?

Hi i haven't flown delta in awhile. Is it still accurate that a paid ticket (Not basic economy) can be cancelled but credited as a travel voucher but if it's an award ticket then miles will be refunded and taxes returned to original payment method? How about lap infant fees how would those be refunded in either paid or award ticket in event of cancellation?

We booked 3 tickets yet the seating chart is only showing 2 available seats.
What should we do about the 3rd passenger?
