Itinerary B: February 2 - XXX-MSP, just me
Itinerary B: February 14 - MSP-XXX, just me
Itinerary A: February 15 - XXX-MSP, 3 passengers
I feel like this might be considered against the rules, though I'm not doing this to get a cheaper ticket, I'm doing this because I want to be on the same PNR as my kids (I've had issues when we've been split in the past). Is there a way that Delta will allow this? Perhaps by using an alternate airport (for example, MDW vs. ORD on itinerary B)? Would calling in and paying a phone charge help?
Thanks.
Shouldn't be a problem. I did it a few times on Delta when my children were younger.
If the system won't let you book online call and ask for a the phone reservation fee to be waived (you are eligible for a waiver if the website won't support this).
Your last recourse is to book itinerary B with a different airline (DL can't restrict you from doing business with other airlines, trying to do so will be infringement of anti trust laws).
Happy Travels
