Delta Airlines Flight Compensation Guide

The following steps will give you all the information that you need to file a claim successfully with Delta Airlines.

Step 1: Delta Airlines Flight Compensation Guide

Assistance For Delay/Cancellation

If your flight has been delayed or canceled, Delta Airlines is not liable to provide cash compensation.  For this, ClaimCatalyst can not help, you must reach out directly to the gate agent or another airline representative at the time of delay/cancellation.  Delta Airlines has pledged to help in other ways in accordance with their Customer Commitment, but this depends on the length of delay.  So long as it is more than 2 hours or greater, then you qualify for assistance by delta airlines.  This includes: 

  • Meal Voucher: If your flight is delayed by three hours or more due to circumstances within Delta’s control, they offer a reasonable meal to each ticketed guest at the airport, subject to vendor availability.
  • Hotel Accommodations: For overnight stays due to cancellations caused by circumstances within Delta’s control, they will provide complimentary hotel accommodations, including round-trip ground transportation.  If a hotel within Delta’s network is not available, you can book the ticket by yourself and submit a Reimbursement Request for any reasonable costs.
  • Rebooking Guarantee: In controllable situations such as delays, cancellations, or diversions, Delta will place you on the next available flight at no extra charge.
  • Free Wifi Access: If you have been delayed by more than 2 hours and your flight is enabled with Wifi, Delta will provide Wifi access for free.
