waterbug123 Posted April 18, 2020 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2020 The latest update from Delta regarding change fee waivers....they have extended the exceptions already announced both in terms of how long you have to reschedule travel as well as extended the flight dates that are eligible for fee-free changes. Delta has been the leader is such announcements, but as happened recently I would expect United to follow suit very shortly, and American to reluctantly follow some time after that. From Delta, yesterday: "...Since the last update, change fee waivers have been extended to allow travel through Sept. 30, 2022, for customers who have upcoming travel booked as of today through Sept. 30, 2020, or have canceled travel from flights in March through Sept. 30, 2020." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruckerDave Posted April 18, 2020 #2 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Seems like I have been getting almost weekly emails from Delta during this whole thing keeping me/us updated on what they are doing. AA, UA, Hilton, Mariott etc etc etc not so much. Not that it really matters, just one persons random observations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading news about how businesses ought to respond to this crisis to their employees and customers is "keep in touch with them". Delta is doing so.

mhb1757 Posted April 18, 2020 #4 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I booked flights several months ago from CVG to FRA in late May for a river cruise and some pre/post travel. The flights were on Delta metal but I bought the tickets from Air France to save about $200/ticket. Now I wish I hadn’t been so thrifty... AF is not being nearly as generous as DL with the rebooking window or refunds. Ugh. Live and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL But putting all kidding aside, for the moment at least, did you cancel or did AF as this can make a difference as to refunds unless you have secured it already?

mhb1757 Posted April 19, 2020 #6 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Well currently I am waiting it out. They have not canceled the flight yet so I am waiting to see if they will (I think the odds are in my favor on that one). If they cancel the terms are a little better but you still have to wait one full year for a refund apparently. They issue travel credit and if it is not used within 12 months then they will refund, if they cancel the flight. If I cancel no refund and a very limited rebooking window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who isn't offering your cash for a year? Delta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
