Delta Air Lines has announced it will allow customers to make some cost-free changes to flights ahead of the upcoming holiday weekend.
The Atlanta-based airline announced Tuesday that it will be issuing a systemwide fare difference travel waiver for July 1-4, which allows customers to rebook their trip before or after the potentially challenging weekend travel days as long as customers travel between the same origin and destination.
ATLANTA: Travel mayhem forces Delta Airlines to give customers option to change flights ahead of July Fourth travel – at ZERO COST… as long as customers travel between the same origin and destination. Rebooked travel must take place by July 8, 2022.@CBS46 pic.twitter.com/yJCtRhhcQ4

Customers can make the cost-free changes via My Trip or the Fly Delta app.
This decision comes as hundreds of Delta Air Lines pilots will be picketing this week. They’re demanding a pay increase and schedule changes.
A delta spokesperson says the company and pilots began contract negotiations earlier this year after talks were halted for two years during the pandemic.
The protest is scheduled for Thursday – just before the busy Fourth of July holiday – at airports across the country, including Atlanta.
Delta says the picketing will not have an impact on flights.
