1. Self-service flight cancellation via 'Manage my booking'
Sign in online via 'Manage my booking' using your booking reference. With just a few clicks, you can quickly and easily cancel your Delta Air Lines flights. Before you choose to proceed with your cancellation, we'll display the total refund that you'll be entitled to, based on the fare rules of your airline.

- If you added Cancellation Protection to your booking, you can cancel your flight for specific emergency reasons and claim your refund here.

Can I get a refund for my Delta flight cancellation?
You can easily get a full or partial refund when you cancel your Delta flight if you already added either our Cancellation Protection or Cancel For Any Reason products during the booking process at Alternative Airlines. You can also be eligible for a refund if you purchased a refundable Delta ticket.
Refundable Delta flights
A refundable Delta flight ticket permits you to receive a refund before departure and will only cost you a cancellation fee. You can book refundable Delta flight tickets using Alternative Airlines on our flight search. To see if your Delta ticket is refundable, you can read the fare rules in the booking process before checkout.
Cancellation Protection
To protect your Delta flights, you can add Cancellation Protection to your booking for a small fee. Cancellation Protection lets you receive a full refund if you have to cancel Delta flights due to emergency circumstances such as illness, death, flight disruptions or mechanical breakdowns. The full list of covered cancellation reasons can be found in the Refund Protect terms and conditions.
Cancel For Any Reason
Travel plans can change at any moment. You might find you need to cancel your Delta flights for a reason that isn't covered by Cancellation Protection. This is where our Cancel For Any Reason cover comes in handy. Cancel For Any Reason lets you cancel any Delta flight for any reason, no questions asked, and receive a refund of 70% of the booking cost in 30 days.
Can you cancel a Delta flight within 24 hours?
Delta's cancellation policy states that you're qualified for a complete refund if you cancel your flight within 24 hours of purchasing your Delta Air Lines flight ticket. This is referred to as a 24-hour refund policy. If you booked a Delta Air Lines flight ticket with Alternative Airlines then you can cancel within 24 hours of your purchase, but, there are some important things that you need to know.
Please note that if you contact us outside of business hours to cancel your Delta Air Lines flight and the 24-hour window has elapsed by the time we've received your refund request, we may not be able to honour the 24-hour cancellation policy as Delta won't allow us to issue the refund.
Please ensure you contact us between 9am - 8pm UK time if you wish to cancel your Delta booking within the 24-hour cancellation window and receive a refund.
