Quick rookie question on cancelling refundable flight
Couldn't find a quick answer on this: if you use Delta.com to cancel an upcoming flight on a fully refundable fare, does the flight refund automatically when cancelled or does it reissue as an eCredit?

Still need to request the refund. (Can be done online for most tickets, but requires filling out tje refund request) Otherwise if its a non-refundable fare (and past free cancel period) it should show up as an ecredit.

It should default to original form of payment as refund. I've cancelled online many without issues
