DELTA AIR LINES customers in the US and Canada will, from 1 March, be able to change their day's travel plans for a $25 fee.
Delta will offer passengers travelling on most restricted fares the opportunity to confirm travel for different flights, including connecting flights, on the same day of their originally ticketed flight.
Customers may request to be confirmed on a different flight, within three hours of that flight”s departure, by paying the fee if seats are available.
For customers travelling on connecting itineraries, Delta will confirm both the originating as well as the connecting flights for a total of $25, if seats are available on all flights.
The $25 fee will be waived for SkyMiles Platinum and Gold Medallion members.
With the introduction of this new product, Delta will no longer offer customers an option to standby for earlier or later flights.
For changes more than three hours before the flight requested, Delta will continue to offer customers the opportunity to confirm on that flight by paying a $100 fee ($50 for Delta Express), plus any applicable fare difference.
