Same-day return - When/how to check-in?
It has been years, maybe decades, since I booked a one-day RT. Outbound flight departs at 7:50 AM tomorrow. I successfully checked-in online. Return departs at 4:00 PM.
Delta.com is not offering online check-in. Should I be concerned? When will I be able to check-in?

I am generally just allowed to check-in 24 hours prior to departure. So you would need to wait until maximum 24 hours before departure to check in for that other flight. So in a few hours you should be good! If anything, you could always check-in for both at the airport

Oh ok. You should be fine to check-in for the return like you would any other flight.

It's been a while since I have done a same day return but you should be able to check in at a kiosk prior to the outbound leg. A message will appear stating "Other flights are available for check in" or something to that effect. At least it for me last time I did a day trip.
