The TPA-ATL-HNL is also First (RS) class and based on Delta's SDC policy for first class tickets "If you have a premium cabin fare, -- including Delta One™, First and Business Class -- you may make a same-day confirmed change as long as a seat is available in the premium cabin"
This should be no problem right? I think the only hangup I had was what first (RS) was but I guess its irrelevant because its the same cabin, just a different fare type.
As long as a seat in F is available, you are not changing origin/destination/co-terminal, and you are not trying to change from a connection to a nonstop, the seat is yours.
Call exactly 24 hours before departure of your original flight and they will make the change for you. SDC costs $50 for general members and FOs. The fee is waived for GM/PM/DM.
