You could easily be costing yourself a lot more though if something goes awry and KLM won't/can't reaccomodate you.
First thing I'd do is find out how much to change it and evaluate after that point.
Thanks for all the responses. Whenever work gets less busy and get a chance, I plan on calling KLM/Delta and finding out what the change fee would be. I infact did look into the option suggested but, like you said, a flight to Copenhagen the day before, plus staying in Copenhagen, which can be prohibitively expensive, was definitely a turn off.
Although I will also be asking the agent at KLM/Delta later today, does anyone know if I buy the ticket with Czech Airlines, if they would be willing to merge it to my existing reservation, since KLM, Delta, and Czech are all SkyTeam partners?
