Companion or principal doesn’t fly return
Hi - sorry if this isn’t the right place for this question but I couldn’t find another thread.
if we book using amex companion certificate and for whatever reason one of the parties doesn’t make the return but has to book a new trip to another destination, does that cause any problem? Not planning this but plans can change, especially these days. Looking at using the F certificate if that matters. And does it matter if the primary traveler or companion has to miss flight due to travel changes to another delta flight? Thanks

Are we allowed to cancel a trip, using the DL Comp Cert, within the 24 hour risk free cancellation period, and get the comp cert back? All that I see about canceling a Comp cert says they will not be reissued. Thanks in advance!

It’s been a few years, but I’ve been able to do this in the past only by phone. I don’t think it can be done online, and I didn’t try Twitter/texting.

I was able to make changes (time and destination) to a reservation with Companion Certificate last month.

"If the primary ticket and Companion ticket are changed after issuance, subject to the fare rules of the primary ticket, there will be a charge for the fare difference of the primary ticket. Changes are subject to the rules of the fare purchased and are subject to seat availability. After travel has commenced, rerouting is not permitted."
You'll need booking inventory availability in designated classes for certs for new flights (LUTXV coach classes for Plat certs).

I'm a novice companion certificate user and hoping some may know the answer to my question. We are hoping to travel next holiday season but not on the most popular days. Our flight on 12/28 doesn't have a fare class eligible for companion pass use. Is it likely or even possible that additional tickets could be added to a fare class eligible for companion class usage?

I've been looking for inventory to open up on Memorial Day weekend, and nothing has come up for my routes. I am probably just going to buy the tickets. I have four companion certs, very real chance all four expire without use given how hard they are to use,

Companion Certificate terms say you can use it for a W fare (i.e. DeltaComfort). I am looking at a number of flights that has W available, but it is saying NOT AVAILABLE.
I've always used the reserve companion pass for either First (Z / I) or Coach since I get the DeltaComfort for free. But the First Class (Z, I) and Coach required inventories (L,U,T,X,V) are sold out.
