Delta Air Lines will streamline its cabin offering and introduce a new shopping experience via the website and app from 15 May 2025 for flight bookings on or after 1 October 2025 to give passengers more options and flexibility.
The updated Delta Air Lines cabin lineup will see new cabin categories with the removal of Basic Economy and renaming of other products.
Seat products will be reclassified as Delta Main (formerly Main Cabin), Delta Comfort (formerly Delta Comfort+) and Delta First (formerly First Class). At the same time, Delta Premium Select and Delta One will remain the same.
The biggest change is to the main cabin or economy seating. Delta Main will now consist of three branded seat options: Basic, Classic and Extra.
Delta Main Basic is the lowest-cost fare with just the essentials – seat assigned after check-in, Zone 8 boarding, cancellation with a fee for partial eCredit, no mileage and no lounge access.
Delta Main Classic will include mileage earn (5 miles per dollar), eCredit for cancellations, better boarding priority, same-day standby and seat selection.
Delta Main Extra will allow higher mileage earn (7 miles per dollar) and refunds to your payment method plus all the other benefits afforded to Classic fares.
Delta Main Basic and Classic options will be available across the network, however, Extra will only be available on flights originating from the US and Canada and select international markets.
Delta Air Lines Senior Vice President & Chief Digital Officer Eric Phillips said: “As we listen and learn about what our customers want when it comes to their travel, we know that clarity and choice are paramount.”
“Our reimagined shopping experience gives customers more options and flexibility to pick the travel experience that works best for them, and a full picture of all the benefits of flying with Delta.”
