Delta Fare Classes
Every Delta cabin now offers three fare options: Basic, Classic, and Extra. The seat and onboard experience stay the same within each cabin. The main difference is the flexibility, travel benefits, and SkyMiles you earn, so you can choose the fare that best fits your trip and budget.
Basic
Basic is the lowest-priced fare in each Delta cabin. It is a good option if you want to save money and don't expect your travel plans to change. With a Basic fare, you get:
- Lowest available fare
- Seat assigned at check-in
- No advance seat selection
- No Same-Day Confirmed changes
- No free changes or cancellations
- Fewer SkyMiles
- Reduced baggage allowance on some premium-cabin Basic fares
If your travel dates are fixed and you want the cheapest ticket, Basic can be a good choice.
Classic
Classic is a good choice if you want more flexibility without paying for the highest fare. With a Classic fare, you usually get:
- Advance seat selection
- Standard change and cancellation options
- More SkyMiles than Basic
- More travel benefits than Basic
Classic is a popular option for travelers who want a balance between price and flexibility.
Extra
Extra is the most flexible fare available in each Delta cabin. It is a good option if you want the most travel benefits.
- Advance seat selection
- Priority boarding
- The highest SkyMiles earning

Delta Airlines Booking Tips
Before completing your Delta Airlines booking, keep these helpful tips in mind.
Choose Classic or Extra if your travel plans might change.
If you want a better chance of getting an upgrade, avoid booking Basic.
If you've booked Delta Basic Economy before, Delta Main Basic works in a similar way under the new fare system.
Same-Day Confirmed changes are not available with any Basic fare.
Compare the fare benefits before booking, not just the ticket price. Sometimes paying a little more can give you much more flexibility.
