ATLANTA, Aug. 29, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Delta Air Lines customers booked on flights traveling to or from select cities in Florida may make adjustments to their travel schedule due to the potential impact of Tropical Storm Ernesto. Delta has proactively cancelled some flights because of the storm, and is currently assisting customers with their travel plans.
Customers traveling to or from the following cities may make a one-time change without penalty or fees:
-- Naples, Fla.
-- Daytona Beach, Fla.
-- Orlando, Fla.
-- Melbourne, Fla.
-- Fort Myers, Fla.
Customers who have purchased tickets by Aug. 29, 2006, and are scheduled to travel Aug. 29-31, 2006, to, from or through the affected cities on Delta, Delta Connection(r), or Delta-coded flights, may make a one-time change without penalty or additional fees if tickets are changed on or before Sept. 1, 2006 and new travel is confirmed in the same class of service as the original ticket.
Additionally, a one-time change without penalty or fees also is permitted in the following markets:
-- Key West, Fla.
-- Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
-- Miami, Fla.
-- West Palm Beach, Fla.
For these four cities, tickets must have been purchased by Aug. 28, 2006, and with travel scheduled between Aug. 28-31, 2006. Tickets must be changed on or before Sept. 1, 2006 and new travel must be confirmed in the same class of service as the original ticket.
Customers may fly prior to their original departure time without penalty, and those whose flights are cancelled may request refunds.
Changes to origins and destinations may result in a fare increase, and any fare difference between the original and new ticket will be collected at the time of rebooking.
