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

Am I the only one that thinks people are getting a little too carried away over here?

This was a glitch.  The site got hammered. 

Some people's tickets got processed,  and others' didn't.

Filing complaints with the DOT bec your glitch fare didn't make to the final stages? I mean,  seriously,  that's ridiculous. 

Glitches come and go.  Take what you got and move  on.

first of all,if you are the type to book a glitch fare than usually you would do your utmost to get the ticket honored,more importantly for delta to have the audacity to say thier honoring them when fares like mine which was booked thru orbitz were canceled hurts.

For all those that are harassing me by PM to change their flights, I just went online and hit the change button, selected my flights, and the charge was zero. All those who can't do it, I don't work for delta
Anyone recently had success changing their tickets? I keep getting an error message

IME error messages happen when the flight is pretty soon and are hit or miss. Try again later.

Why is it that just "Glitch" just had to happen when the Wideroe thread was calming down. I smell a conspiracy.

He is saying that if I booked a ticket under my name and do not end up needing to use it, I should give it to you. In order to use it, you then also purchase a FULLY REFUNDABLE ticket and check in at the airport....and pass through security with your refundable ticket. Then once through security, you will use the ticket I gave you at the gate. Then you cancel the refundable ticket and get a full refund.....

I don't see how this would really work, unless people have done it before and obviously you would need two one way tickets to make it work.

i personally know ppl that did it

Using this method, I've had gate agents look at my ticket and say, "Have a safe flight, Mr. LA2NYC."  If I'm trying to give my ticket to a female and I have a very masculine name (John, Robert, Henry, etc), is anyone worried the gate agent will see that and call the female (person I gave the ticket to) out?

you can change male or female online with no issue

I wander what the consequences would be, if at arrival somebody for whatever reason asked you for ID and realized that you flew in someone else's name?

there is nothing wrong with this as you actually paid for the seat so its not stealing but as a disclaimer this is for informational purposes only! 8)

I booked on Priceline 2 reservations because priceline only lets maximum 8
passengers. I did myself separately and my kids with my wife.
Now I realized on the return flight I booked 2 different flights 2 hours apart.
do you think they will let me change the flight to be on the same flight with my wife and kids?
