Delta Air Lines has extended its no-fee rebooking window through Monday, Nov. 16 for travelers hit by the FAA-ordered nationwide ground stop. The airline said it is still working to restore its full schedule.

Most Delta flights are running normally, the airline said. Some passengers may still face delays or cancellations.

Who can rebook

The flexible options now cover customers with travel planned from Nov. 13 through Nov. 16, 2026. Those passengers can change their flights at no extra cost through the Delta app or on delta.com.

Delta is encouraging travelers with flexible plans to move their trips to Monday, Nov. 16 or later.

If you fly Nov. 15 or Nov. 16

Delta advised passengers traveling on those two days to leave extra time. It also asked them to check the Delta app or delta.com for the latest flight status before heading to the airport.

The airline said it will give customers as much notice as possible about schedule changes. When a flight is canceled, Delta said it will automatically rebook passengers on the next best itinerary.
