Although, if it can only be done via phone and if I have to pay a fee to book with an agent, well, that's a bit hard to swallow......
Actually, after talking to 3 different reservations and 1 at web support, I'm giving up for now. Each transfers me to the other, or says it can't be done, and if I lead them to where the Delta website says it can be done, I'm back to I have to talk to web support..........
