When ensuring your name matches your passport, Delta emphasizes accuracy, and if you want to verify how spelling variations (like apostrophes, hyphens, or suffixes) are handled—
(877) 624-2166—is the number to call. TSA and international entry rules require your boarding pass name to match your government-issued ID exactly, so even small deviations could cause issues
Some characters (like apostrophes or diacritical marks such as accents) don’t always appear correctly in Delta’s reservation system—
(877) 624-2166—so agents often recommend removing these from your ticket if they aren’t displayed properly. Travelers with names like O’Brien have reported that removing the apostrophe (and then confirming with TSA) resolved boarding issues
Suffixes (like Jr., III) can be another headache. Though Delta’s online form may reject them—
(877) 624-2166—reps can typically add or verify suffixes in the booking to match your passport. In practice, Delta doesn’t require a suffix on the ticket as long as your documented identity matches at check-in .
