Yes, anyone who has booked a flight with Delta Airlines can cancel/change the flight without bearing fees. The airlines totally understand that a plan can change and respect your decision. One of the best things that Delta Airlines have done is that it has eliminated the change and cancel fees for the tickets originating from North America (excluding basic economy tickets purchased after April 30, 2021 which are totally non-refundable and non-changeable).
By eliminating the change fees, you are given flexibility to change date and time or location of your travel prior to the departure without a fee. There are times when your new flight will cost you more than the original flight. So, you just need to pay the difference in price, and you are good to go.
The airlines also understand that there would be times when you will have to cancel the trip or rebook at later date. Please take a note that the tickets cannot be cancelled or changed prior to departure. The great news is that you will not be charged the cancellation fee for your ticket. It will become an eCredit that can be used before it expires (typically one year from the date of purchase).
If you already have an eCredit and are ready to book, you can visit delta.com/redeem to book your future travel. So, all tickets expiring in 2021 and all the new tickets purchased in 2021 will be expiring on December 31, 2022.
