Can you edit passenger information on Delta?

Delta Airlines' name change policy allows passengers to make corrections to their names within 24 hours of booking without any fees. However, after this period, changes may incur charges, and it's recommended to contact Delta Airlines' customer service for detailed information.



On Delta Air Lines in 2026, you can generally edit basic passenger information such as your contact details, SkyMiles number, and Known Traveler Number (TSA PreCheck) through the "My Trips" section of the website or Fly Delta app. However, significant changes like a legal name change due to marriage or a typo correction often require manual intervention from a reservations agent. You may need to provide legal documentation (like a marriage certificate) via a secure upload link or at the airport counter. For tickets booked through a third-party travel agency, you must typically contact the agency first to initiate these edits. It is a high-value "pro-tip" to verify your Secure Flight Passenger Data (full name, date of birth, and gender) at least 72 hours before departure to ensure it matches your government-issued ID exactly, preventing potential delays at the security checkpoint or boarding gate.

What's really happening is that airlines want to control their revenue. In the days when you could transfer tickets, consolidators would scoop up the cheap ones and resell them, negating the airline's ability to move the ticket price around as demand ebbed and flowed.

All advised me to put BOTH First and Middle Names on the First Name box. And yes, they do run together as one word. But that's just how it is presented according to them. Their emphasis was complete FULL NAME as it appears on the passport.
