To get mobile boarding pass Delta, use the Fly Delta app or check in on delta.com. Check-in opens 24 hours before your scheduled departure time, and your digital boarding pass is generated immediately after you complete check-in.
How to get a mobile boarding pass on Delta
The primary method to get your mobile boarding pass is through the Fly Delta app. Download the app, then check in as a guest, log in to your existing account, or register for a new SkyMiles account. Once you have completed check-in during the 24-hour window, your boarding pass appears in the app's "Today Mode" or the "Today" tab, ready to scan.
Checking in on delta.com for your mobile boarding pass
If you prefer not to use the app, you can check in on delta.com. Visit the website during the 24-hour check-in window, complete the check-in process, and access your digital boarding pass directly on the site. You can save the pass to your phone's wallet or take a screenshot for quick access at the airport. Add pass to digital wallet for easy access alongside credit cards and tickets.
Automatic check-in for SkyMiles members
When you are logged into the Fly Delta app as a SkyMiles member, you are automatically checked in 24 hours before your flight. Your digital boarding pass becomes available in "Today Mode" or the "Today" tab without any additional action on your part. This feature saves time and ensures you never miss the check-in window.
What to bring to the airport with your mobile boarding pass
You must present a government-issued photo identification along with your mobile boarding pass at the airport. For international travel, you also need a valid passport and potentially a visa. The Fly Delta app sometimes allows you to verify your passport within the app, streamlining the check-in process before you arrive.
Using your mobile boarding pass offline
The Fly Delta app stores your boarding pass for offline access once it has been downloaded. This means you can open and display your pass even without an internet connection at the airport, ensuring you are not delayed by poor cellular service or Wi-Fi.
TSA PreCheck Touchless ID on your Delta boarding pass
TSA PreCheck Touchless ID (formerly Delta Digital ID) is available when you meet specific eligibility requirements. You must be a SkyMiles member, enrolled in TSA PreCheck with a Known Traveler Number (KTN) stored in your profile, have a valid non-expired passport saved in your Delta profile, and check in using the Fly Delta app. When eligible, your mobile boarding pass displays both a blue TSA Pre icon and a green Touchless icon, allowing you to move through security without showing your ID or boarding pass at the document checkpoint.
Troubleshooting common mobile boarding pass problems
If you cannot access your pass, first check your internet connection and ensure your device has sufficient battery life. If the barcode will not scan, increase your screen brightness and make sure the QR code is fully visible and not cut off. If scanner cannot read barcode, ask a staff member for assistance or head to a self-check-in kiosk to print a physical copy. If you lose or delete your pass, retrieve it by logging back into the Fly Delta app or visiting the check-in counter at the airport for assistance. If your device is incompatible with the mobile boarding pass app, consider using a different device or contact the airline for alternative check-in options.
