This program is not currently available for SkyTeam elite members.
The applicable areas of travel are within the United States, Canada, Puerto
Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands on Delta and Delta Connection® flights.
Change is only permitted based on the original ticketed paid cabin. For example, customers confirmed in V class may only standby for flights in the economy cabin.
This is a voluntary option only if we are unable to confirm the flights requested. Use of the Same-day Standby Option is not a guarantee that seats will be available on any portion of your standby request.
If we are unable to accommodate you on your standby flight, you may confirm
seats on the next available flight, according to the rules of the Same-day
Confirmed Program.
We are not responsible for amenity expenses if we are unable to accommodate you on your standby flights.
If any flight or combination of flights between the origin and destination cannot be confirmed, you will be required to standby for all segments, except when a change allows you to keep the original confirmed connecting flight.
