Delta Air Lines Waiving Change Fees on All International Flights

Delta Air Lines announced Monday it would waive change fees for all flights booked between March 1 and 31 to any international destination served by the carrier.

The decision to expand Delta’s travel advisory comes as concerns from passengers about the coronavirus outbreak continue to get louder. As a result, customers will be able to make a one-time change to their itinerary without incurring a fee.

In addition to the travel waiver applying to all travel outside the United States, Delta revealed it is also waiving change fees for flights to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

A Delta spokesperson said the decision was made to ensure the safety and welfare of customers, and the carrier is working closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization on how to handle the situation.

The airline has also adjusted flight schedules to areas impacted by the coronavirus.

Delta wasn’t the first carrier to begin waiving change fees for impacted customers, as American Airlines announced Sunday it had expanded its travel advisory for customers purchasing tickets between March 1 and March 16.

In addition to Delta and other airlines canceling flights to China, service to South Korea and Italy has also been impacted, forcing customers to alter business and leisure travel plans.
