Same Day Confirm - Checking Availability

Im on a 930PM tonite JFK-JFK. Would love to confirm onto the 730PM. How can I check how many seats are actually available? Don't want to sit around JFK for 2 hours if it turns out there's already almost no seats left on the earlier flight.

Well, if you don't want to pay, sign up on flightstats.com. It's free and they have a basic fare class availability checker.

Call and check at 4:30 to SDC onto the 7:30.

I generally use flightstats, but if it is just to see if there is any availablity or not, delta.com will suffice. Just do a mock booking and if the flight shows up at all, then you can SDC. Sold out flights do not appear on the list of flights.

Of course, you can always call as well.
