DAL - DAL Stock: Delta Offers Free Flight Changes to Combat Fourth of July Frenzy
InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) stock is on the move Wednesday after the company revealed free fare changes for customers from July 1 to July 4.
According to the airline, the free fare changes are being offered as a way to help combat a busy July 4th weekend. It guarantees that customers won’t pay fees for switching tickets due to scheduling troubles. Passengers have to select the same destination and take the trip by July 8th to be eligible for this free change.
Delta Air Lines is offering free flight changes to customers of all ticket classes. That even includes its basic economy tickets. While the offer is typically limited to bad weather or other unexpected flight conditions, the airline is breaking that trend with this deal.
So why exactly would Delta Air Lines make such an offer? The airline is expecting one of its busiest weekends since the Covid-19 pandemic hit. With that will come an increase in people flying and that could stress its systems more than expected.
That matters as several airlines, Delta included, have been struggling to keep flights going. This comes as a host of problems have resulted in airlines having to cancel flights, which has been upsetting customers.
Delta Air Lines is likely expecting further problems if this offer is anything to go by. That means it wants to ease travellers’ worries, while also giving them a reason to continue using the company for their air travel.
DAL stock is down 2.6% as of noon Wednesday!
