Delta Air Lines Announces New Product Names

As of May 15th, customers shopping and booking tickets for travel on or after October 1st, 2025, will see Delta's refreshed product names.

Delta’s seat products will now be classified into the following categories: Delta Main (formerly Main Cabin), Delta Comfort (formerly Delta Comfort+®), Delta First (Formerly First Class), Delta Premium Select, and Delta One. 

Travelers will no longer see “Basic Economy” – instead, that base-level fare class has been folded into Delta Main. Delta Main now includes three experience options, allowing travelers to better tailor their journey: Basic, Classic, and Extra. 

• Delta Main Basic (formerly Basic Economy): Offers the core Delta experience, with restrictions including seat assigned after check-in, Zone 8 boarding, cancellation with a fee for a partial eCredit, no mileage or Medallion Qualifying Dollars (MQDs) earned for the trip, and no entry into Delta Sky Clubs (even with credentials).
• Delta Main Classic: Offers MQD earnings, 5 miles per dollar (excluding taxes/fees), eCredit for cancelations, better boarding priority, same-day standby options, and added flexibility to choose a seat.
• Delta Main Extra: Offers even higher boarding priority, 7 miles per dollar (excluding taxes/fees), easy refundability back to the form of payment, and same-day standby.

All other seat products will include “Classic” and “Extra” tiered experiences for greater choice and more customization.

Delta’s new branded seat products will begin flying October 1st for flights originating from the U.S. and Canada. Travelers may see the updated fare names (i.e. Delta Main) if purchasing a ticket between now and September 30th, but the new seat products (i.e. Delta Main Basic, Delta Main Classic, Delta Main Extra) won't be utilized for flights traveling before October 1st.

We will continue to update travelers of any additional changes. Cain agents are available for support as needed.
