Check-in

Check in online at delta.com within 24 hours of your flight or at an airport kiosk using your PNR (Delta Confirmation number). When travelling on a connecting flight, only check-in for your first segment. You will be automatically placed on the priority list for your connection when you are cleared in your origin city. Attempting to check-in for the connecting segment only will result in a lower boarding priority as you will not retain your original time stamp.

If you list for more than one leg, the system will indicate a priority listing, this is false, you will only have a normal listing and is a system error.
