How To Find Old Delta Ticket Numbers?

When one is trying to find their old Delta ticket numbers, it’s important to check with the airline first to see if they can help you.

When you purchase a Delta Air Lines flight and get a ticket with the booking or record locator number, this number remains in the Delta reservation system forever and allows you to retrieve information on this particular ticket even years later if necessary. However, as time passes, you may lose track of that long booking number and as such, finding it when you need to check on any of the bookings that you made with Delta may not be easy. Fortunately, Delta does offer a couple of ways to look back to get ticket numbers from prior bookings.

Call Delta's Reservation Number

It is quite simple to get a previous ticket or confirmation number from Delta Bookings, but this would require calling the airline at 1-800-221-1212. If you are the one who booked the flight and still possess some of the flight details, such as full name, travel dates, destination, and so on, the agent should be able to retrieve the ticket number from their records.

Some things to have on hand before calling are your SkyMiles frequent flyer number if any, your address at the time and the phone number you would have booked with, details of the trip booked for which you want the ticket number, billing details if the card was used to make the purchase, and any other identification details that may be needed. This will enable the agent to navigate through your customer record as well as previous bookings so that he or she can search for the ticket number required.

Check Old Email Confirmations

Another location where you can look for the lost Delta ticket number is in the email confirmation or receipt that should have been forwarded to you after making the booking. Most of the time, emails from accounts and mail providers do not delete emails even after two years, so please search your inbox for any Delta emails sent to you around the time when you bought that flight. In any booking confirmation emails that may be sent, the ticket number is usually stated at the top section of the message.

If they are no longer in the inbox, search the email to see whether They went to the archive or some other folder. If you do not receive an email, you can search your email account using Delta Airlines, Delta Airlines confirmation, or the city you used to book the flight and check if the confirmation email is there. If the above methods and tips for getting the emails do not work, try to call Delta’s customer service and inquire if they can send you the itinerary of that old booking again. Give them the details of the flight number and they might be in a position to forward the confirmation email to you.

Check Your Delta Account

If you, as a client, made the booking yourself using Delta Airlines without an agent or travel company and had a SkyMiles frequent flyer account when you made the booking, you can log in to your account on the Delta website or the Delta application on your smartphone and check your previous bookings which you have done in the past years. In addition to that, there is a feature called ‘Past Trips’ under the ‘My Trips’ feature that allows you to choose dates and view previous flight bookings from months or years ago just to see those ticket numbers again.

You can also try looking at the ‘My Wallet’ section of your Delta account for payment methods; all Delta flights you bought directly through your credit card must be in this section with record numbers for their tickets.

Third-Party Booking Sites

If you did not book the Delta flight directly but through an online travel agency, such as Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz, Priceline, or similar services, the process might be a little different, but you still have ways to get the old ticket or confirmation number. To cancel that particular booking, you would have to go to the particular account that you have with whichever vendor site was used to make that booking.

Almost all third-party sites have the ‘My Trips’ link under the account tab where all flight, hotel, and trip bookings are stored and can be reviewed at any time. It allows you to look at bookings that were made years ago and find the ticket number or record locator. If you cannot remember login details to view the old booking, you need to call the customer service of that website.

If you had booked from a third-party vendor, then try to contact Delta Reservations with your name, flight details, date of booking, and the name of the website through which you made the booking and request that they provide the actual Delta ticket number for that reservation from their end. Tell him that you made the booking through a third party and do not have that booking record number again.

Check Credit Card Statements

Indeed, now that you need to find an old Delta ticket number, one of the most effective ways is to check the statements of the credit card that you used to pay for the flight. majority of credit card companies provide facilities for the cardholders to enter into the website and check the online statements, which are in electronic format for the month of a particular year, the year previous to that, two years before that, and so on. You can try searching for the statement that would include the Delta booking charge.

Even though you may not see the actual ticket number there, that credit card statement should reflect the merchant details, such as the date of the charge, the exact dollar amount charged, as well as the words ‘Delta Airlines’. Regarding this first important aspect of booking confirmation and payment information, dial Delta Reservations and inquire to the agent if he or she can search for the ticket number using the information on the statement. Mention the date of booking, the exact amount charged, and any other flight details from that time to assist them in identifying the previous booking made.

Ideally, with one or more of the above options, you should be able to successfully find a Delta ticket number regardless of the number of years that have passed since you received it. Provided you obtained the flight confirmation yourself either directly from Delta or through an online booking service that maintains online account records, the flight confirmation number and other key details are, for all intents and purposes, permanent in Delta’s reservation system. It is, however, advisable to have with you any verification documents that you can when reaching out to them for assistance in the search.
