Additional Information 

Agencies or corporate accounts may elect to suppress or inhibit Delta Main Basic fares from their customer booking tools. Corporate customers desiring to suppress or inhibit Delta Main Basic fares should contact their agency.  Agencies with questions on the latest suppression capabilities provided by a GDS should contact their GDS provider.

Important: If a travel agent makes a reservation using a Delta Main Basic fare and ends the PNR, then decides they want to use a higher fare (not a Delta Main Basic fare) so that their customer can get an advance seat assignment, they must cancel the original reservation and rebook the new itinerary for the higher fare in a new PNR, prior to ticketing the original reservation.

Fare Shopping, Low Fare Finders, and GDS or Self- Booking Tools

If Delta Main Basic is not suppressed, when using certain self-booking tools or low-fare finder functionalities that search for the lowest fares, it is important to note the following:

• Delta Main Basic will likely be returned in markets with availability, as it is typically the lowest fare.
• To shop for Delta products beyond Delta Main Basic that are eligible for advanced seat assignments and full Medallion benefits, travel agents should consult the GDS or self-booking tool provider to determine the most effective entries and processes.
• Delta Main Basic fare rules are published and available via the GDS.
• Interline combinations are only permitted with partner basic fare products. Additionally, combining Delta Main Basic and non-Delta Main Basic segments is not permitted.
• Like other fares and based on competitive needs, Delta Main Basic fare rules may include advance purchase requirements, minimum or maximum stays, and in some cases, Saturday night stays.
• Markets with a Delta Main Basic fare offering are subject to change without notice.
