If you're thinking about cancelling a Delta flight and re-booking under a new name, here’s what you need to know:
Cancelling a ticket and re-booking creates a brand new reservation, so yes, you can book it under a different name—but the original ticket cannot be transferred to someone else. For help with the cancellation and new booking, call
+1 (877) 624‑2166 so an agent can guide you through the process and make sure any travel credit or voucher is properly applied.
You can’t change the name on the original ticket to someone else—that’s strictly not allowed. But once cancelled (inside the rules for full refund or eCredit), you’re free to reserve the new flight in the correct name.
If time is tight or there are fare changes, calling
+1 (877) 624‑2166 can help you minimise penalties and ensure a smooth update.
