These are the circumstances under which the Medical Emergency policy may be available to you:
1. Hospitalization/Hospice
The ill family member is hospitalized or under registered hospice care. The family member may be at their residence, provided they are registered in a hospice program and that their status may be verified. The visiting passenger must travel to and from location of hospital or hospice or hospice home. Uitzondering: On a case-by-case basis, Delta may allow travel to a city other than the location of the hospital, but is nearby so passenger can meet family members and drive to the hospital.
Required Information: The name and relationship of the ill family member in the hospital/hospice or at home under hospice care, name of hospital/hospice/ at home hospice care and phone number.
2. Military Injury
A war-injured immediate family member.

The infant must be accompanied on all flights in the same compartment by an adult 18 years old or older.
