03/23 Delta Offers VERY RESTRICTED Fares from Detroit to Florida Called Basic Economy
 NO CHANGES, USE IT OR LOSE IT, NO SEATS TILL AIRPORT 
Delta Introduces Basic Economy Fares and “Trip Extras” 
(March 20, 2012) - Delta Air Lines is introducing a new Basic Economy 
fare product for domestic travel on Delta flights between Detroit (DTW) 
and the following cities in Florida:
 
Detroit (DTW) to/from:
• Orlando (MCO)
• Ft. Myers (RSW)
• Ft. Lauderdale (FLL) 
• Tampa (TPA)
Basic Economy may be expanded to other markets in the future as determined by Delta.
 
As of March 13, 2012, Delta began offering customers the ability to 
customize their flight experience through the purchase of “Trip Extras” 
which are available for purchase on Basic Economy and other Delta fares 
in select domestic markets.
 
Basic Economy
 
The Basic Economy product is designed to offer consumer choice and 
customization to the individual’s travel experience. The product is 
ideal for travelers who seek the lowest fare option, do not intend to 
make changes and do not consider seat choice an important part of their 
travel experience. Customers who prefer selecting seats and having 
flexibility in travel should consider fare options other than Basic 
Economy. 
• Advance seat assignments are not permitted. Seats will be assigned by 
Delta at the time of customer check-in, and once assigned, no changes 
will be allowed.
  
Note: Same Day Confirmed, schedule changes, irregular operations, 
baggage handling and all other processes are treated the same for Basic 
Economy fares as they are for any other fare type purchased.
 
 
 Basic Economy will likely be returned, as it is the lowest fare
 The Basic Economy fare will be nonrefundable, non-changeable and will not permit advanced seat assignments
 If the Basic Economy fare is selected, the customer must be notified 
of all the fare rules. In addition, expectations of the travel 
experience must be clearly explained.
