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

But how do i tell them to go pick something up?, Has anyone ever ordered a cab and then called them to pick up food ?
Maybe Jeff's has experience with a good driver/company that comes fast and will deliver to LAX fast and intact. Call Jeff's at: (310) 858-8590

I received an email yesterday saying that my flight time has been changed (by about 30 minutes), is this enough time to be allowed to cancel my trip or does it have to be a much larger change?

You can try. May take some HUCA though.

Officially it's 90 minutes, but I've had them change for as little as 15. Tell them that you're not comfortable with such a tight connection, etc. And HUCA.

I was able to get 7 tickets on delta glitch business class for my family but I was not sure of my plans at the time.  Now I need to get one business class ticket for me for August 10, 2014 san to jfk  one way same flight so I can help my wife on plane but business ticket is over $800!! not much available on the award front.  Except for buying a ticket any other ideas. I have ultimate rewards, flying blue miles, AA miles

I assume the 7 tickets were for your wife and kids? How old is the oldest? Maybe buy an economy ticket for yourself and switch seats with the oldest when you get on the plane so you can help your wife.

Mine was changed by 7 minutes and they switched me to an earlier flight that worked better for me than the original time.

What he was saying was put one of the kids in economy and you sit in his biz seat. I assumed what you were suggesting is getting an 8th seat in biz while having only 7 biz and 1 economy. To that i asked why would they.

so i bought tickets during the glitch and got the "contract" from priceline. during the bedlam that followed i called a few times to try and have delta issue the tickets however the hold times were ridiculous and the fax didnt work for me. being as my flights are in august i figured i would have time to wait out the rush (and hour+ long hold times) to call and get my tickets. does anyone know (or have experience), if i call now will i be able to get the tickets?
TIA

update: after HUCA one time got tickets confirmed... all other procrastinators out there, there is hope

+1, that's what I was referring to. If any of your kids are old enough that you're comfortable letting them sit separate from you, you can buy an economy ticket for yourself and switch seats with your kid once you're on the plane. This way you can help your wife with the other 6 kids.

wow, that's really amazing. Thanks for sharing. If they are 'mentches', then it makes us happy to use Delta when we can...

Once you're past security/before you take your seats just switch boarding passes with your child. Who's to know you aren't them and vice versa?

+1. And even if you talked to the FA's about it, I'm sure they'd be willing to accommodate once you've explained the situation.

I have a flexible RT in C for August that I won't be able to make the outgoing leg. Is it worth trying to cancel just that segment? Has anyone had success cancelling or changing outgoing legs (I am able to make date changes online for free for the return leg but not the outgoing leg)?
