Who will be the first to claim they are one of Dls most-valuable flyers for paying "Full fare" F. You didn't buy FULL FARE ANYTHING. You bought a mistake and took advantage of an error. I hope DL soaks each and every one of you when you want to make change.

Mine were booked on DL site which could be why. I thought the PL ones were cancelled?

No.

It is very clear that once the airline has charged and ticketed you, they can't "take it back".

There is some debate whether they can take it back after they've charged you if they haven't ticketed you yet - I'm in the camp that they can't.

Regardless, by DoT rules, DL is absolutely obligated to honor these fairs or face hefty fines.

aah kk looking through my itineraries, all my priceline ticketed ones don't show a fare basis but they've all gotten full MQM and MQD, so should be good!

How do you know if you are ticketed? Also bought tickets via Priceline and no cancellation yet.

Thanks

What's the SDC rules on an A fare?

pull up the fare on delta.com using the confirmation code. Then click view receipt. If you see a ticket number in the corner, you've been ticketed

yup $50 per change, unless you are GM, PM, or DM. also $50 for standby. Unless you get the weird one where you SDC from a connection to a nonstop and you get refunded the airport fees for the connection and only pay $39 and change

Yeah that looks like it should be good. Delta has also said they will honor all the fares.
