How can I change the date or time of a flight with Delta Air Lines?

A Delta date adjustment can move the trip into another calendar day, connection or operating carrier even when the city pair looks unchanged. Use My Trips to price the entire journey, then separate voluntary repricing from a schedule change initiated by Delta. Recheck seats, eCredits, later legs and the new ticket number after reissue. Open Delta My Trips with the original ticket number and the passenger name exactly as ticketed. For this date time change decision, reconcile Delta MyTrips with old and new local calendar dates, then compare Delta eCredit against later segments and operating carriers. Keep the Delta receipt or eCredit record and confirm that the replacement ticket, operating flight and later segments all show correctly.

What to do next

  4. Step 4

    Review the fare difference, fee, remaining value and treatment of seats, bags and upgrades.
