Everyone check your dates for Delta in November!!! We have had a big change!! They said in the letter, they would give a credit for cancellations. I think they have to give a refund, if the change is over a certain amount of time.

Yes, absolutely correct. If they make a major change in your flight, they HAVE to give you a refund if you want. Usually they don't want to do that, so check to see what is available with other airlines and if you can get something better, cancel and get your money back. If not, you can see if there is some other routing or dates that will work for you from Delta, as they would much rather allow you to change to something YOU want, versus giving you your money back.

Oh, no, I am so sorry to hear that Terry. And Carol is absolutely correct. If they make a significant change or a cancellation they HAVE to refund your money if that's your preference. I know you don't want to connect so that puts AA out of the picture but if you are considering JB look at their EWR flights, too. We ended up booking the flights from there for price and time.
Good luck and keep us posted as to how you make out.
Respectfully,

Terry: Can you give a little more detail as to what changed, why it changed, etc.? We are flying with them in February and want to know if they have cancelled one of their normal scheduled flights for good, or what...............
Thanks The schedule changed---why they don't even know, but it happens. November and February can be completely different, so don't worry. You should just keep watching your reservations, but they did get in touch with us quickly. I phoned and the girl I spoke to could not have been nicer!

From what I can find, it is 120 minutes/2 hours schedule change for Delta to be considered for a refund. For AA it is 240 minutes/4 hours.

I still don't know what the change was....major or minor Sorry, Major to us... there is no longer a flight the day we were suppose to leave. They changed it to the day before, with a 6 AM flight from JFK, changing in Atlanta , and then on to SXM. Our flight was suppose to be non-stop leaving at 8:30 AM.---

Very major, yes. What did you decide to do? We are going to wait a little while, since it is in November. The young lady, I spoke to, said there could be more changes. She did put our new seats together, since they also separated us! If I don't see anything happening soon, we will probably take JB to SXM and keep our return flight with Delta, which didn't change---YET. Still up in the air........

We are flying Delta down to SXM on 10 November and I just checked and no changes. The flight departs JFK at 8:35 a.m. and arrives in SXM at 1:56 p.m. The flight is direct.
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

Sadly, Peeps,all the airlines do it with little if any consideration or thought to the passenger. The bottom line for the informed traveler should be, once booked, check often and be prepared for 'stuff' to happen because it often can and does. Better to find out ASAP and be able to make suitable changes that work for you than to be caught off guard last minute and have to deal with whatever you can get.
