News / Delta the only U.S. airline to block middle seats, limit onboard capacity through March 30, 2021
Blocking seats into spring 2021 provides added confidence and reassurance for customers booking future travel plans
November 19 - Delta will continue delivering on its industry-leading commitment to provide more space for customers as the only U.S. airline blocking middle seats for flights departing now through March 30, 2021.
As more medical experts agree on the safety of air travel thanks to the multiple layers of protection provided under the Delta CareStandard, blocking seats into spring 2021 provides added confidence and reassurance for customers booking future travel plans.
The health and safety of the customers and employees remains Delta Air Lines’ top priority. The Delta CareStandard encompasses more than 100 protective measures, such as sanitizing every flight, a comprehensive employee COVID testing program, and the use of industrial-grade HEPA filters that extract more than 99.99% of particles, including viruses.

Taking the Stress Out of Flying
Delta is making it easier to plan and book your next trip. The airline has launched a new interactive map on delta.com that gives customers the power to search, view and click-to-book their desired destination all in one place, giving full control and a better understanding of current travel restrictions and what to expect upon arrival.
The data is curated from government agencies and the International Air Transport Association to provide detailed insight into quarantine and testing requirements, travel forms and paperwork, local health information, local COVID-19 guidelines, and links to necessary forms and applications needed prior to travel.
In addition to a new trip planning tool, Delta is offering greater flexibility if you ever need to change your plans, including:
- No change fees for a U.S. domestic ticket or domestic award ticket, excluding Basic Economy fares.
- No change fees for all domestic and international tickets purchased through Dec. 31, 2020, even if scheduled to travel next year.
- Extending the use of travel credits through December 2022 for travel originally scheduled to depart before March 31, 2021 (if the ticket was purchased before April 17, 2020).
