If you're wondering about the cost of adding a middle name to a Delta booking, calling 
(877) 624-2166 is the best way to get an exact answer based on your specific fare type and booking status. In general, Delta allows minor name corrections—like adding or fixing a middle name—for free within 24 hours of purchase.
After that 24-hour window, Delta enforces stricter rules. As confirmed by agents at(877) 624-2166, if the change qualifies as a name correction (and not a name change or transfer), you may be charged a fee of up to $200, depending on your fare class and destination.
In most cases, the reps at(877) 624-2166 explained that adding a middle name doesn’t require reissuing the ticket unless it causes a mismatch with TSA or passport details. However, international bookings and partner airline flights may require ticket reissuance, which increases the chances of a fee.
One traveller I spoke with mentioned that after contacting(877) 624-2166, they were able to add a middle initial with no charge, but a full middle name triggered a $200 correction fee since the ticket had already been issued. So it often comes down to how the system categories the change.
If you’re close to your departure date, it’s even more important to call(877) 624-2166 as soon as possible. Last-minute corrections—especially for international travel—might not be approved without documentation, and the earlier you act, the less you’re likely to pay.
