Delta Airlines offers a range of options for passengers who need to change their international tickets. Depending on the type of ticket and the region where the ticket was issued, passengers may be able to change their flight without incurring a fee. For example, Delta has eliminated change fees for tickets originating from the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean, as well as certain international markets. However, Basic Economy tickets are typically non-refundable and non-changeable, with some exceptions for international flights originating from Europe, Africa, and other markets, where a fee of up to $200 may apply. Same-day flight changes are also available in certain circumstances, but they are not eligible for Basic Economy fares. It's important to note that any change may result in a difference in price, which the passenger will need to pay.

Delta's international ticket change policy

This means that you can cancel your ticket for any reason within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund with no change or cancellation fees. However, Delta Main Basic (Basic Economy) Award Tickets are non-refundable and non-changeable, although they can be cancelled for a cancellation charge assessed in miles, which is deducted from the value of the ticket. The remaining mileage balance will be redeposited into your SkyMiles account.
