Step-by-Step: How to Manage Your Delta Airlines Booking Online

Step 1: Visit the Official Delta Airlines Website

Open your preferred browser and go to the Delta Airlines official website — www.delta.com.
You’ll find a clean and intuitive homepage that allows you to book flights, check flight status, or manage existing bookings.

From the top menu, click on “My Trips.”
 This is where you’ll access all your flight information.

Step 2: Locate Your Booking

You can access your trip in two easy ways:

  1. Using Confirmation Number:
     Enter your confirmation or booking reference number (found in your email after booking) along with your first and last name.
  2. Using SkyMiles Account:
     If you’re a Delta SkyMiles member, log into your account. All your past and upcoming trips will be automatically linked.

Once entered, click “Find My Trip” — and your entire flight itinerary will appear on-screen.

Step 3: Review Your Booking Details

Before making any changes, carefully review the information displayed:

  • Passenger names
  • Flight numbers
  • Departure and arrival times
  • Baggage allowance
  • Fare type (Basic Economy, Main Cabin, Comfort+, etc.)

Confirm all details are accurate. If you spot anything incorrect, don’t worry — Delta allows you to edit or update most information directly from the Manage Booking page.

Step 4: Modify Your Flight (Change or Rebook)

Plans can shift — and Delta understands that. Here’s how you can change your Delta flight online:

  1. Click on “Modify Flight.”
  2. Choose “Start Flight Change.”
  3. Select whether you’re changing the entire trip or a single segment.
  4. Pick your new dates, destinations, or flight times.
  5. Review the fare difference and confirm your new booking.

If your ticket type allows free changes (e.g., Main Cabin or higher), you’ll only pay any fare difference — no change fee.

If you face difficulties while rebooking, the Delta Customer Service team can assist 24/7 to guide you through the process.

Step 5: Cancel a Flight (and Request a Refund or Credit)

Sometimes, cancellation is unavoidable. Thankfully, Delta Airlines makes it easy.

  1. Click “Cancel Flight” under your trip options.
  2. Confirm your cancellation by following on-screen prompts.
  3. Depending on your ticket, you’ll either get:
    • A full refund (for refundable tickets), or
    • An eCredit (for non-refundable tickets).

You can use your eCredit toward future travel with Delta.
If you need help understanding refund eligibility or using your eCredits, Delta Customer Service can guide you step-by-step.

Step 6: Upgrade Your Seat or Class

Want more comfort? Upgrade your seat easily:

  1. Go to your My Trips page.
  2. Click “Select Seats” or “Upgrade” (depending on ticket type).
  3. Choose your preferred seat — Main Cabin, Delta Comfort+, First Class, or Delta One.
  4. Pay any applicable difference and confirm your selection.

Once completed, your new boarding pass will reflect the updated seat or class.

Step 7: Add or Modify Baggage

Need to add baggage or adjust an existing allowance?

  1. Visit your booking page.
  2. Look for the “Add Bags” option.
  3. Select the number of bags you’re checking in.
  4. Pay online to save time at the airport.

Online prepayment for baggage can save you money and time — plus, you’ll skip long check-in lines.

Step 8: Update Passenger Information

If you misspelled a name or need to update contact info:

  • Navigate to “Edit Passenger Information.”
  • Update details like phone number, email, or address.
  • For minor name corrections (spelling mistakes), you can edit directly.
  • For major name changes (after marriage, etc.), contact Delta Customer Service for manual verification.

Step 9: Add Travel Extras

To make your journey smoother, Delta lets you add:

  • Special Meals (for dietary preferences)
  • Wheelchair Assistance
  • Pet Travel Requests
  • Priority Boarding
  • Trip Protection Insurance

These options can be added directly through your booking management page or with the help of Delta Customer Service.

Step 10: Check-In Online and Download Boarding Pass

You can check in 24 hours before your flight via:

  • Delta.com
  • Delta mobile app

Steps:

  1. Go to “Check-In” on the homepage.
  2. Enter your confirmation number and name.
  3. Confirm your seats and travel details.
  4. Download your digital boarding pass or receive it by email.

Checking in online saves valuable time at the airport and ensures a stress-free start to your journey.
