Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
These are questions often raised regarding adding a KTN to the Delta app.
Where can I find my KTN?

What if I don't have a KTN?

What if I make a mistake entering my KTN?
If you notice an error, you can usually correct it by accessing your profile in the app and updating your KTN information. If you're unsure, contacting Delta customer service is always a safe option.

Can I add my KTN during online check-in?
