How late can you change seats?
Hi, I'm a frequent UA traveler, but just getting into DL. If I'm checked into my flight, can I still change my seat before flight departure using the app? Is there any cutoff where I can't do it myself and have to talk to an agent? Thanks!

It all depends on when the GA takes full control of the seat map. I've been able to change seats before once boarding has started, and have also been locked out as early as 10 minutes before the start of boarding. It really just depends.

He asked about AA in the AA forum and DL in the DL forum. Seems to make sense to me. Different airlines = Different policies? Maybe, maybe not, but best not to assume Different airlines = Same policies.
