My flight not showing on Delta..does that mean it's full?

I'm curious....when I go in to book a flight on my dates on Delta...my departing flight isn't an option? Does that mean it's full?

It could be or they could be in the process of changing that flight.... I would log into my itinerary to make sure everything is good with my flight still.

Make sure you have the radio button for 'schedule' checked on the left. Otherwise it just gives you the best prices (the default radio button).

This is upper left once you're looking at flights under 'Modify Search'. The radio buttons are under 'View Flights by' and you have the two choices.

Thanks...found it! I was hoping the time would change so I could move us to the earlier flight...no such luck I hate how the flight times I always want with Delta are the most expensive.

If this is for a flight you've already booked, from the main Delta page, login, then select 'My Trips'. You'll get a list of all your upcoming reservations, click on the one you want and it will pop up. THAT screen will tell you whether there's been a change or not.

Of course Delta (and other airlines) know what the most popular times are. I was booking for a cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale for next year. The cheapest flight to/from FLL over the weekend and then some... $450 (each). Flying to/from MCO, $220! Now, we have 3 hour layovers each direction, and we fly back on Monday instead of the weekend, but cheap flights!

Since we're still 10 months out, I feel I have a chance on Delta making enough of a change that I can pick my flight (shorter layovers).

Good luck!

If they are the ones you want, they are probably the ones everyone else wants too, so naturally they will be more.

The ability to charge more for more desirable flight times/days allows the airlines to offer deeply discounted fares to passengers who are willing and able to less desirable flight times.

The first N/S flight on a Saturday morning and a late N/S flight home on Sunday afternoon are likely to be in demand.
