Air Credit with Delta

[rebeccajo68]

I'm cruising April 8th. I have a credit with Delta because of hurricane Wilma cancelling my cruise in October. I'm cruising out of Tampa this time and the rates are awful!!!

 

Is it possible to use my Delta credit and look for fares on priceline and such places or do I have to book directly with Delta. What about flying into Orlando and renting a car to drive to the port in Tampa??? I'm so confused and I can't pay $600 to fly from Tennessee to Florida.

 

Now, I keep seeing all this about a strike too!!!! Any suggestions welcome

I just priced out Knoxille to Tampa for 4/7 returning on 4/15 and it came out to $345 on Delta.

Where did you get that rate??? With the credit needing to be applied, I'm not sure who I can go through except Delta.

Rebecca, I just went through a similar situation. I was taking my g/f on the cruise with me. We broke up so I cancelled the ticket I bought for her. I got a voucher that I could use within a year. You can only use the voucher if you buy direct from the airline itself. Trust me, I tried calling hotwire, and travelocity. I assume all the rest are the same. Another thing I found is to look for the flights you want online (ie: expedia, travelocity, priceline etc.....) Then check those flights out on the airlines website. A lot of times they are cheaper and you dont have to pay the $15 fee that those said online companies charge you. Good Luck!!

Thanks all for this information. I'm thinking now that I may fly into Orlando and drive to Tampa. Seems that airport has cheaper rates and it is a non stop flight from Knoxville.
