Delta Airlines Is Making Big Changes to How You Fly — Here’s What You Need to Know

Similarly to Southwest Airlines Delta Airlines is ushering in a new era of air travel by reimagining how customers book and experience their flights. Beginning October 1, Delta is rolling out a refreshed lineup of branded fare options and a more intuitive online shopping experience, with more flexibility and personalization in mind.

New Fare Categories:

Delta’s fare structure now includes:

• Delta Main (formerly Main Cabin), split into three tiers:

• 
  

• Basic – The essentials at the lowest fare.

• 
  

• Classic – Extra flexibility, seat selection, and SkyMiles earning.

• 
  

• Extra – Top-tier perks like refunds, higher mileage earn, and earlier boarding.

• 
  

• Delta Comfort, Delta First, Delta Premium Select, and Delta One remain, now with “Classic” or “Extra” options for added customization.

Better Booking Tools:

Starting May 14, Delta's redesigned booking system on Delta.com and the Fly Delta app lets you compare fare features at a glance.

Ongoing Perks for All Passengers:

• Delta continues to enhance the travel experience with:

• 
  

• Free Wi-Fi for SkyMiles Members

• 
  

• Personalized Delta Sync inflight entertainment

• 
  

• Complimentary snacks and beverages (with meals on select routes)

• 
  

• Over 165,000 seatback screens — the most of any U.S. airline

Whether you're traveling for business or family fun, Delta's updated system ensures you're in control of your journey. With more clarity and options, flying just got more personal.
