- Award tickets can be changed up to 3 hours before departure for $150 per person.
- Any changes within 72 hours require redepositing the miles and rebooking a new award flight at current mileage rates.
- Elite Medallion members and Premium class tickets have reduced or waived change fees on awards.
- Award flights cannot be changed day-of-travel once the scheduled departure time passes.
- If the original flight is delayed or canceled, you can switch to standby on earlier flights for free.
- Partner award flights on other airlines follow different change policies than Delta-operated flights.
When changing an award ticket booking, be prepared to either pay a change fee or redeposit miles if inside the 72-hour window. Have a backup mileage balance on hand.
