How to Do a Delta Receipt Lookup (3 Ways to Find Yours)
Need a Delta receipt for an expense report? Here are three fast ways to find it: the delta.com receipts page with your ticket number, your My Trips or SkyMiles account, or your confirmation email.
Method 1: Use the delta.com receipts page (fastest)
Delta has a dedicated receipts page, and it is the quickest way to get an itemized receipt, even if you booked as a guest.
- Go to delta.com and open the receipts page (usually found under My Trips or a "Need a receipt?" link).
- Enter your 13-digit ticket number (Delta tickets start with 006).
- Add the passenger first and last name on the reservation.
- Submit to load the receipt, then print it or save it as a PDF.
Tip: Your Delta ticket number is the 13-digit number that starts with 006, not the 6-character confirmation number. You will find it on your confirmation email and in My Trips. If the page asks for one and you only have the other, grab the ticket number from your email first.
This returns a full itemized receipt with the fare, taxes, fees and total, which is exactly what an expense report or your tax records need.
Method 2: Find it in My Trips or your SkyMiles account
If you booked while signed in to SkyMiles, the receipt is already tied to your trip.
- Sign in to your SkyMiles account on delta.com or in the Fly Delta app.
- Open My Trips.
- Select the flight you need.
- Look for Receipts, View receipt or a receipt request link, then download or print it.
This is the easy option when you take several trips, because you can scroll your history instead of finding a ticket number for each one. It also keeps past flights together for when an expense deadline catches you off guard. If My Trips only shows upcoming flights, switch to the past or completed trips view, since older flights are usually filed there rather than deleted.
Method 3: Search your email
When you book, Delta usually sends a confirmation email with the fare details, and often a separate receipt. Search your inbox for terms like "Delta," "delta.com," your confirmation number, or "ticket number."
Remember that one trip can produce more than one email. The booking confirmation covers the base fare, while checked bags, seat selection, upgrades or same-day changes may arrive as separate charges with their own receipts. If you need every line for reimbursement, collect all of them.
Delta receipt lookup not working? Try this
- The receipts page returns nothing? Double-check the ticket number (13 digits, starting with 006) and that the first and last name match the passenger exactly. A typo or a missing middle name can block the match.
- Entered the confirmation number by mistake? That 6-character code is not the ticket number. Use the full 13-digit ticket number from your email.
- Booked through a travel agency, a third-party site, or a corporate tool? Your receipt may live there rather than on delta.com, so check the site you actually paid through.
- Missing a bag or seat fee? Those are often charged at the airport or on the day of travel and sit in a separate receipt. Look for an extra email or charge confirmation.
- Older trip? It can drop out of your account view, but the receipts page can usually still pull it with the ticket number.
- Changed or refunded the flight? The receipt total reflects what you actually paid after the change, so save the latest version rather than the original booking email.
If you need these for taxes, the IRS generally suggests keeping receipts for at least three years. If you also rent a car or grab a rideshare on the same trip, the same approach works: see our guide to the Hertz receipt lookup for car rentals.
The faster way: let Mylo grab every receipt automatically
Chasing an airline receipt the night before an expense report is due is the slow way. Mylo finds them for you: it scans your email inboxes and the accounts where receipts hide, pulls the itemized version, and matches each one to the card charge that paid for it. Flights, bag fees, hotels, rideshares and the stores you shop at, all in one place.
No new card, no manual entry. Mylo works on top of the Visa, Mastercard, or Amex you already use, and syncs clean, categorized expenses straight to QuickBooks. Free on iOS, Android, and the web.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I find my Delta ticket number?
Your 13-digit Delta ticket number starts with 006 and is on your confirmation email and inside My Trips. The receipts page on delta.com usually asks for this number plus the passenger first and last name.
Can I get a Delta receipt without a SkyMiles account?
Yes. The receipts page on delta.com only needs your ticket number and passenger name, so you can pull a receipt for a flight booked without a SkyMiles account or while signed out.
How do I get a receipt for Delta baggage or seat fees?
Checked bags, seat selection and upgrades are often charged separately and can generate their own receipts. Check the receipts page and your email for each charge, since one trip can have more than one receipt.
Is a Delta receipt itemized enough for an expense report?
In most cases, yes. The receipt from delta.com shows the fare, taxes, fees and total, which is what expense and tax records require. If your employer needs a fare breakdown, the same receipt usually covers it.
