Well that made one of my decisions for me. I was gonna take a chance and use up some FF miles on AA for our January trip DESPITE our last experience being less than stellar. I decided to use United miles even though United is not my favorite airline BUT they have to mess up a LOT to equal AA....just did the trip down...will wait to book the trip back. (BOS-EWR-SXM)
