The nice thing about delta is that the second there is even a slight delay, they immediately waive any and all change fees and try to accommodate you as best they possibly can. I've received travel vouchers for $40 for a flight delayed 4 hours, free snacks on the plane, an upgrade to business, free changes, etc. Its what I love about Delta and the reason they are my go to airline in the U.S! All the others just seem to give you bad news and make you deal with it, while Delta at least tries to help and solve your problem.
