Check-in Options

With all the convenient check-in options we provide, it's a cinch to find the one that's best for you. But before you even consider your options, be sure you know the check-in requirements for your airport. You'll need to be there earlier for some airports and you'll need more time if you're checking bags.

Mobile Check-in

Looking to save time at the airport? With Mobile Check-in, you can check in from your PDA or web-enabled cell phone. Here's how easy it is:

• Access delta.com on your mobile device, select Check-in, and follow the steps to complete checking in, which will produce a bar-coded electronic boarding pass.
• At the airport, scan your electronic boarding pass/PDA at the kiosk to print a paper boarding pass.

Mobile check-in is available if you are traveling within the 50 United States or between the 50 United States and Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Checking bags? Don't worry, you can still use Mobile Check-in. Just check in online and bring your bags before the required check-in time at the airport using our curbside or kiosk check-in.
