Delta Fares

Can the children of a retired Delta Airline employee still fly NON_REV?

I am not a child anymore, 38 to be exact. And what is the cost of a non rev reservation based on..?

1. I doubt it. You need to be a child of a current Delta employee.
2. The cut off is usually 21 for children of active employees, and differs from airline to airline. Once the employee retires, flight benefits are usually restricted to that retiree and their spouse. It is up to the individual airline to determine what they charge for non-rev travel. Some it's completely free, other's it's simply an administrative fee, some are 'zonal' based, and some are a calculation of taxes. Best Bet? Ask the retired employee themselves. Ultimately, they would be the people who would need to make the arrangements for you anyhow.
3. Unless your parent had some kind of a retirement package that allows adult children to have flight benefits (this was done in early retirement offering back in the 1980's I heard) you do not have any flight priviledges. Delta flight benefits are only extended to unmarried children under the age of 25. Cost would depend on if you are using S-1, S-2, S-3 or a buddy pass (if someone gave you one). Buddy passes are based on the origination and destination cities and mileage.
