FOR PRICELINE RESERVATIONS WITH BOOKING FAILURE
Call Priceline 1800-259-2091 dial 3 and then 1 and ask for the contract receipt.
Then fax the contract to Delta with your name, email and phone number to 1801-575-3000
UPDATE: It is no longer necessary to fax in anything to Delta. Just call Delta direct, with the priceline conf number, ask for a supervisor, and they are honoring all tickets! ;D

Gotta love schedule changes :).

HA just pushed off my OGG-HNL flight by 15 minutes. Called Delta and told them that an hour and a half connection time in HNL "makes me nervous" about catching my HNL-SEA-JFK flight. Got them to change it to OGG-LAX-JFK with no fees.

That gives us one less leg + 4 more hours in Maui + biz in the 767 (internationally configured) vs. the 757 :D.

ETA: The entire OGG-HNL-SEA-JFK was booked together during the glitch, with the first leg on HA metal. Oddly enough, the HA schedule change wasn't even showing up in DL's system (I got the alert from FlightTrack).

These changes keep on getting better and better.

Got an email earlier today that my JFK-LAX-HNL (first leg in biz, second in economy) has been changed to JFK-ATL-HNL.

Gave them a call and said how disappointed I am switching from 767 biz to the MD-88 so-called "first", not to mention that I'm 6'-8" and will be cramped into economy (actually economy comfort) for almost 10 hours due to the change. She put me on hold and came back five minutes later saying that she put me in first all the way through, and in A class (1.5x mileage earning) no less  ;D ;D ;D.

Brand new A330 reverse-herringbone lie-flat... Not bad at all for a schedule change, methinks 8).

I had JFK-MSP-SFO-HNL and HNL-LAX-MSP-JFK. The outbound had changes that added more than 90 minutes to total flight time, and they let me change it to JFK-LAX-HNL. Side bonus is that originally only JFK-MSP was in M (economy comfort), and now it's JFK-LAX in M. Small comfort for someone who made the mistake of not booking this glitch in business or first. The changes to the return actually shortened the total trip time and they wouldn't let me change it, but the logistics work out that I end up with similar timing anyway.

I couldn't get any traction at all trying to get it changed to go all the way to OGG. So now I'm arriving in HNL at 2:05 and still need to get to OGG. What's the earliest time I can feel comfortable booking HNL-OGG if my bags are checked all the way through? And how about if I want to go see Pearl Harbor before continuing to OGG?

This has been discussed multiple times in the general Hawaii thread.

Good for you. But 6'-8" ? Isn't that pushing it up just a little bit ?

Met him at the brooklyn DDS. Unless if that was his shorter brother taking photos. (Also saw him a week earlier at the sub express DO. But he was sitting then)
