That said, I find Delta's receipt opaque about the fare basis. For example, in another thread there was a reference to an 8-character fare basis code where the 7th character indicates refundability, but how/where can you find that code? The maddening thing is the phrase "This ticket is nonrefundable unless issued at a fully refundable fare" Huh ... what does that mean, a generalization or a specific to this ticket?? Anyhow, the trip is SEA-SLC-STL & return ... does this help (A) outbound, (P) return.
You might be able to call DL and ask, but I'm pretty sure that the A fare would be nonrefundable but changeable with a $200 change fee. Assuming it's a RT ticket and not two one way separate tickets, you'll each get a nontransferrable (and noncombineable) credit for the fare minus $200.
