If Delta Air Lines canceled your flight, start with the trip you still need to take. Ask about a replacement and a refund before accepting a credit.
First decisions
- Save the original itinerary and the cancellation notice with its time zone.
- Ask whether the offered flight protects every remaining segment.
- Compare travel on the new flight with a refund of unused transportation.
Claim separately
A refund doesn't settle every other question. Save the airline's reason, any care offered at the airport, and meal or hotel receipts. A fixed payment, where a rule allows one, has its own conditions.
