When Delta overbooks a flight, they let their passengers decide how much getting bumped is worth. ... When passengers on overbooked flights check in online or at the check-in kiosk, they're asked what the dollar value of the travel voucher they would accept as compensation for volunteering their seats.
How do I know if my Delta flight is overbooked?
How Can You Tell if a Flight is Oversold?
- Reservations agents via the airline's toll-free number.
- Tweeting the airline's help desk (i.e. @delta)
- Asking a check-in agent.
- Asking a gate agent.
- Asking an airline's club lounge agent (i.e. Delta Sky Club — not The Club or American Express Centurion Lounge)
Can you get bumped from Delta economy?
Are Flight Changes Allowed? Unfortunately with the Delta Basic Economy fare, there are absolutely no changes allowed. This means you cannot cancel your flight (after the 24 hour booking window expires) and cannot change to same day standby options.
