Delta is giving passengers two years to use credit from canceled flights, the company said in a statement today. Travelers who cancel flights on Delta now have through May 2022 to use their credits.
This move is the latest sign that the airlines expect this decline in travel interest, and the corresponding economic downturn, to linger.
The company said in a statement:
"Amid the ongoing challenges of the coronavirus pandemic, Delta is committing the utmost care and attention to evaluating our travel waiver policies and continuing to make it even easier for customers to cancel, change or rebook travel.
Whether customers have been affected by recent schedule adjustments or want additional reassurance about upcoming travel, we’re now extending the ability to plan, re-book and travel with us for up to two years – giving Delta customers some extra breathing room."
