Escalating a complaint
Formal complaints go through the Comment/Complaint form on delta.com. If unresolved, US travellers can file with the DOT Aviation Consumer Protection Division, which obliges the carrier to respond.
Your refund rights
If Delta cancels your flight or makes a significant schedule change and you decline the rebooking, you are entitled to a cash refund to your original form of payment under US DOT rules — not a voucher. Delta must issue it automatically and without you having to ask.
