Do you really need to call Delta Air Lines?

Experienced travelers always use self-service options online or through the airline app first to see whether the problem can be solved without the help of an agent over the phone. For example, there’s no need to contact Delta Air Lines customer service if you just want to check the status of your booking, change the date of your flight, or cancel your trip – you can do this by visiting My Trips section of Delta’s website (check out this article if you need some clarification).

Basically, before contacting Delta it’s always a good idea to check their support pages such as Help Center, FAQ, SkyMiles Support, Current Advisories, Airport Delays, and Travel Requirements. They often provide answers to the most common questions and problems you may have. This can be a real time-saver when you take into account the call center wait times.

If you need help with a reservation made not through the Delta Air Lines website/app but with a third-party such as OTA, travel agent, etc – try contacting their sales office for quick assistance.

Requesting a refund

The quickest way to request a refund from Delta Air Lines is by logging into My Trips, then following these instructions. You’ll need to provide your name and confirmation number for your flight reservation. If you want to request a refund over the phone, call Delta Reservation Sales at 800-847-0578 (U.S. and Canada) or the call center in your area.

Changing a flight online can sometimes result in errors. Moreover, your issue can be simply too complicated to handle without some assistance from the airline. In that case, here is the list of Delta Air Lines support channels you can use to contact and ask for help:

Politeness wins the day! No matter how you get in touch and how stressful is your problem, your best bet for getting what you want is to be a decent person – it helps to be levelheaded and respectful. Take a deep breath and imagine yourself on the other side of the phone.

Booking through a travel agent can be a game-changer!

If you hate dealing with airlines’ customer care, consider using a travel agent to book your flights. They can remove all that drama from your booking experience. Good travel agents have “air teams” behind them (who have relationships with airlines), often work via a bigger agency, or with support of incredibly strong networks and connections.

When an airline cancels a flight or makes a change to your itinerary, travel agents have the power to handle this for you, on your behalf. They don’t even need to speak to the airline in most cases, since they have access to the backend of a booking system and are permitted to make changes to your reservation. Sometimes, they can even “bend” the rules.

The best thing: you’ll typically pay the same price for the flight ticket. Commissions made by agents generally come from the airline side, not from the customer side.
