Do they accept credit cards on Delta Air Lines flights?

Delta Air Lines has joined most of the major airlines in their move to only use credit cards and debit cards for in-flight purchases of food, drinks, and other items.

Delta Air only accepts credit and debit cards payments for purchases made during a flight. Delta Air Lines does not accept gift cards, ATM cards, and cash for purchases made during most of their domestic and international flights. However, only cash payments are accepted for purchases made during Delta Connection flights that have a single class service. Credit cards or debit cards and cash are accepted on Intra-Asia routes and on flights going between Hawaii and Japan.

Major credit cards are accepted and only debit cards with the logo of a major credit card are accepted on Delta Air flights.

For in-flight purchases of food and drinks, only credit cards or debit cards are acceptable on flights that are within North America. This includes the United States and Canada, Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda.

Delta Air Lines started accepting only credit card and debit card payments during their flights in the year 2009. This initiative was meant to help the airlines make payment processing faster and more convenient.

It won’t be long before cash payments during a flight are completely eradicated. Credit card and debit card payments during flights not only help customers conserve their actual cash, but are also convenient for the passengers and the flight crew as well.
