Booked flights then Delta changed schedule which caused short connections
I found Skysaver award tickets for my wife, daughter and I to Hawaii a couple of months ago. The original schedule was to depart HNL and arrive in LAX at 6:15am and leave LAX at 7:30am. Now Delta has changed the schedule to arrive in LAX from HNL at 6:36am and leave LAX at 7:15am. I'm wondering if anyone thinks this will be a problem and if so what can I do to rectify the situation?

39 minutes should be plenty of time at LAX. If not, it's early in the morning and you have all day to make it to your destination.

A 39-minute DL-DL connection at LAX is fine, with the usual caveat that the flights are on time. If you miss your flight and there's only one or 2 flights a day -- or those flights are full -- you might end up losing 1/2 or 1 day of your vacation.
Before accepting this change, you might want to find out when the next flight is and how full it is, just to know how inconvenient a misconnect would be.
