Realistically, if the flight is some time out in the future, there's a good chance there will be schedule/equipment changes before the actual flight. I would check DL.com regularly to make sure you get the seat (and flight!) you asked for.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the heads up on that possibility! Any suggestions or ideas on how far out they make those changes? Do they generally happen at the beginning of the month? I will be really bummed if I don't get the seats I wanted as that is the reason I booked early.
