Delta Airlines is a popular airline that operates flights domestically and internationally. The COVID-19 pandemic has put a great financial burden on Delta Airlines, because many passengers have decided not to fly for their own safety. Customers who still choose to fly should use caution when purchasing an airline ticket with Delta Airlines, because it can become very expensive to change your flight. Currently, the fee to change your flight ranges from 200 to 500 dollars, and it does not include the price difference between the two tickets.

In order to make changes to your Delta Airlines flight, you need to find the confirmation number of your trip, which you can find in the inbox of the email provided when you purchased the ticket. To change your flight, navigate to https://www.delta.com/mytrips/ and click on "My Trips." You will then be redirected to a page where you will need to enter the confirmation number along with your first and last name. After you find your trip details, you will be shown various options on the next action you would like to take. Click on the option that says "Modify Flight," and then click "Start a Flight Change." From here, you can look for a new flight that you prefer. After you choose another flight, you will pay the price difference between the two flights and the change fee at the checkout page. Remember that you can change your flight up to twenty-four hours before the departure time.

Although it can be expensive to change your flight with Delta Airlines, the option is there for customers in case of an emergency. Try making sure you will be able to make it to the flight you originally picked.
