Looking for the earliest time frame to begin check‑in for a Delta flight—whether online, via the app, or at the airport.
 
You can check into your Delta Airlines flight starting 24 hours before your flight takes off. This means if your flight is tomorrow at 3:00 PM, you can check in today at 3:00 PM. If you need help or have any questions, you can always call 877-297-0699 to speak with someone from Delta.

🛫 How to Check In​

There are a few ways to check in for your Delta flight:

Online or in the Delta App
Open the Fly Delta app or visit the Delta website. Enter your name and confirmation number, and you’ll be able to check in, pick your seat, and get your boarding pass. If something doesn't work, call 877-297-0699 and they can help you check in.

Airport Kiosk
If you're already at the airport, you can use a self-service kiosk to check in. Just type in your information, and it will print your boarding pass. If you have bags to check, you can do it here too. If you're not sure how to use the kiosk, or if it gives you an error, you can ask an agent or call 877-297-0699.

Ticket Counter
You can also check in at the ticket counter with a Delta agent. This is a good option if you’re traveling internationally, with pets, or need extra help. If you're not sure what to do, call 877-297-0699 before heading to the airport.

⏰ When to Check In​

Domestic flights (within the U.S.):

Check-in opens 24 hours before departure.

Check-in and bag drop close 1 hour before departure.

The gate usually closes 15–30 minutes before the plane leaves.

International flights (outside the U.S.):

Check-in opens 24 hours before departure.

Bag drop closes about 90 minutes before departure.

It’s best to get to the airport at least 3 hours early for international flights.

If you're not sure when your check-in closes, or if you have a connection, just call 877-297-0699 to ask.
