On-Line Check-In Online Check-in allows you to bypass lines at the airport by printing your boarding passes online. As long as your travel doesn't require a visa, you can use this service if you have an e>ticket for any flight on Delta, Delta Connection®, Delta Shuttle®, and when connecting on Delta's Through Check-in partners.

Log on to delta.com from 24 hours to 30 minutes before a flight within the U.S. or 60 minutes prior to an international flight, go to Online Check-in, and follow the simple instructions.

To access your itinerary, you will need one of the following: 

   * a SkyMiles number and PIN
   * a confirmation number
   * the e>ticket number on your ticket
   * any credit card with the name matching the ticket

If there are multiple passengers in your party, you may check in and print boarding passes for each person.

What if I have baggage to check? If you have baggage to check, check in online. You can check and pay for excess baggage all at the same time. Once at the airport, drop your bags at any curbside check-in or baggage drop location. Baggage check-in time requirements vary by airport. Please review Check-in Requirements for complete information

Kiosk Check-In You may check in at a kiosk using any major credit card that has your name encoded on it, your Skymiles number, or the confirmation number associated with your trip. If you use any credit card other than the Delta SkyMiles Amex, you will be asked for your record locator, destination city, and who knows what else. To prevent this, use your SkyMiles card, Crown Room card, or Delta SkyMiles Amex. You can also scan the barcode on your Skymiles or Crown Room ID card or your SkyMiles American Express credit card.


First Class Check-In

Flying Domestic First Class

Flying International Coach

Flying International Business Elite International Business Elite does not offer lie-flat beds, but is reasonably comfortable.

Upgrading Elite Delta members get free upgrades (on a space available basis) when flying domesticaly. Any paid fare (with the possible exception of Priceline/Hotwire or other unpublished fares) is eligible. Upgrades to First come from the V fare bucket, while upgrades to Business come from the X bucket.

If you wanted a confirmed upgrade, there are several ways to get it. (Note: you can always call Delta to check availability of upgrades, but that can be tiresome. Some commercial sites, such as expertflyer.com (paid service), allow you to search for availability of "buckets" or "classes".

Using miles--Domestic: Purchase a ticket that is Y, B, or M class. These are the only fare classes that are upgradeable with miles. An upgrade (if available) comes out of the "G" class.

Using miles--International: Purchase a ticket that is Y, B, or M class. These are the only fare classes that are upgradeable with miles. An upgrade (if available) comes out of the "Z" class.

PMU--Platinum medallion members get six PMU upgrades. These coupons are non-transferable, but a Platinum member may use them for a traveling companion, providing they are on the same flight. (Do they have to be on the same reservation? Can the Platinum be on an award ticket, or business class ticket?)

PMU--Domestic. Domestically, any paid published fare class is upgradeable using PMU (this possibly excludes priceline/hotwire tickets). Upgrades come from "G" class.

Using PMU--International. Only Y, B, or M fares are upgradeable. Upgrades come from the "Z" class.

Delta absolutely will not allow same-day international upgrades; they will let BusinessElite seats fly empty, rather than upgrade you. Many suggest you should only buy a YBH fare if you can confirm availability of the upgrade at the time of purchase.
