Delta Itinerary Change -4th one ?

[WhitGB]

Just a quick question, Delta just sent our 4th ininerary change this morning and they have finally changed our times so much that it is not possible for us to make it to the airport on time.

The email was sent this morning and I don't see anything on it stating I have to confirm this change, can I call the airline and try to be moved to a different flight? We are going from Milwaukee to Bangor, ME which does not have a ton of flights going in daily.

The time has changed over 3 hours if this has any bearing. I have changed Air Train flight that have done this but do not know the delta protocol.

TIA

Yes, they will change your flight for free or give you a refund. I believe their rule is 1.5 hours or more.

Thanks for responding...I will send my husband to do the dirty work

Did you have any luck with the change? I just checked my itinerary for September (no email from Delta), and they are now routing us through ATL instead of directly to SLC.
And we will miss our flight home from SLC! Looks like they just eliminated that late flight.
Trying to decide what to do, and wondering how many times it will change before Sept...

Find an alternate flight you like, call Delta, and make the change.

Found an earlier flight we can handle. Still goes through Atlanta, but gives us more time for a layover and a better chance to make our flight. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who responded. My DH did call the airline after I picked an alternate flight. He had no problems changing the four of us to the new flight and Delta was very helpful on the phone.

The new flight is actually an easier flight for us since we were laying over at Lagaurdia before and we are now in Detroit, which we are familiar with.

Thanks again.

Having just returned from a Delta trip to upstate NY through Laguardia I definitely think the change going through Detroit is a plus as well. LGA was a nightmare both ways for us...

We are having this problem also. We just got notification that our departure flight from home is now leaving 3 hrs earlier. Which is great because we will be there by 11am!!! But we have to be to the airport 5:00 am. I am not looking forward to that, and neither is our driver(my Mom)
I am worried out our return flight, be have breakfast ressies at 1900 Park Fare. I don't want to cancel them!
I only fly direct flights now. I will not do layovers anymore! My time is worth money to me.

Our September flights were reroute because they cancelled the direct flight. We picked a direct flight the day earlier and they changed us without any trouble...

Last year, when this happens ( it has happened at least 4 years in a row when we book so far in advance going to MCO...I fly all the time for work, but this only seems to happen to us when going to MCO)... We couldn't find an alternative delta flight that worked for us but there was a jet blue flight that worked. Delta agreed to let us keep our return flight and refunded us the cash/mileage used for the inbound flight ( we got a 50% credit). They have always been very accommodating when this happens!!!

I hope they don't move ours up earlier, they already did and we now leave at 5am. It will be a very long day.
