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

HI I purchased 4 tickets thru price line and I got ticketed right away, I have a few question maybe someone here can help me

1) I was in such a rush that I booked both flights for overnight is there any way to change the tickets to same day different time?
2) I booked 4 Tickets for Me, Wife and 2 children just in case i wouldn't have where to put them up now i am only planning to take along only 1 child will I have a problem checking in 3 People when I only have 3 out 4 traveling?
3) if i cant solve these issues and I decide to cancel my tickets is there a way to cancel without a fee?

Thank You

Should not be too hard to cancel.... call and ask for a manager. they are losing money on these tickets

ATL-LAX-HNL-LAX-ATL all in A class which is 150% on DL, AS, KE and FB.
I am Delta Gold which I want to use for possible standby/confirmed same day on the direct ATL-HNL (and vice versa) flight.
What is the best airline to credit it to? If I were to use my DL #, can I change after I check in? etc.

I just called up and the CR told me that because I booked it through priceline they wouldnt be able to assist me even to do a same day change. I need to change my flight from 615 pm to an AM flight. Is this an example of HUCA HUCA?

If you didn't get the priceline ticket confirmed yet, and the Delta flight passed already, then Delta will rebook your ticket for any other time that matches the following criteria:
Same week days (Thursday - Sunday original needs to be Thursday - Sunday for your new itinerary.)
Same travelers flying. No name changes allowed.

It could be your fare class is sold out (i.e. Fare class C, etc.).  I would call when it is time to check in for your flight.

JFK-LAX - C
LAX-LIH - B
OGG-HNL - A
HNL-SEA - A
SEA-JFK - C

DL - A,B,C=150%, so 15345 miles.
AS - A=150%, B=125%, C=100%, so 12792 miles.
FB - A,C=150%, B=100%, so 14067 miles.

I have no AS or FB at the moment, and two DL accounts with 5.5k orphaned miles in each.

Any advice who to credit to?

Thats what i plan on doing. I plan on calling 24hrs before the flight.
I have a friend who works as a travel agent and his computer system told him that even though the flights earlier that day dont say "Class T" there are class T seats left on those flights
