I would like to keep my current seats and flights.
I am thinking I should either
- call Delta and ask them to convert the ticket for a partial refund
- cancel the ticket and buy a "new" fare online without speaking to anyone at Delta
Does anyone have experience to share or recommendations for doing this?
Book the new nonrefundable tix with the same routing as you currently have, or whatever you desire.
Then go into the refundable and change your seats. Immediately go into the nonrefundable and take the seats you just vacated and you're all set.
Under no circumstances would I convert the refundable. That's asking for problems. Keep things separate.
