Well who do i speak to on this issue with the rebooking if i have an issue? You mean a delta rep on the phone?


Again my concern would be when i book my flight a week before my trip, then few days before i go to get the covid test and say i get tested positive... then what happens? So would you say its a good idea to get a covid test first and once it show negative, then you book the flight within the next two or three days assuming you notice the fees are pretty reasonable on the day you decide to get the covid test?
Just book ticket as normal. If by chance you test positive you call and rebook the ticket. (Same as if you just decided to fly another day). If flights are after Dec 31st, book a non-basic economy fare. (Ie main cabin) Only thing you'll need to pay is the difference between what you paid and what new ticket costs. (If it costs less you'll get an ecredit for that amount)

Your biggest worry isn't going to be flights, it'll be cost of hotel till can fly again.
