Yes, you can cancel your Delta flight after fixing your name and rebook a cheaper fare, but there are key details to know:
Once a name correction is made—such as a typo fix or legal change—you can still cancel the ticket. Call
(877) 624-2166 to confirm that your updated ticket qualifies for a refund or eCredit. Delta typically allows cancellation for most fares (excluding Basic Economy unless within 24 hours of booking).
After cancellation, your fare amount becomes an eCredit tied to the corrected name. You can then rebook at a lower fare, and any leftover balance stays in your eCredit wallet for future use.
To avoid complications, always call(877) 624-2166 before canceling or rebooking—especially if your name was recently corrected. The agent at (877) 624-2166 will ensure your changes, credit, and new booking are all processed properly.
