Kinda almost off topic but since I have a flight to SXm booked with United it might be slightly on topic

If ANYONE has a flight to SXM through Newark REALLY have a backup plan because they are cancelling MANY flights. Our PVD-EWR-ZRH flight was cancelled two days in a row and we eventually just said screw it and moved on. It's not the long haul flight but the connection to EWR that is being impacted by ATC issues and has been a problem for months. Today United had 68 cancellations in Newark and Rebublic, which does the short hauls for some airlines (United) had 83 more..(United 89 on Friday...86 by Republic ..from/to EWR) .WAAAAY too many flights for ATC to control in that area

We had a great trip planned to Alsace in France..driving from Zurich airport but we could NOT get to EWR...cancelled two days ... so our whole trip is now toast...prepaid expensive car rental, apartment rental, and maybe the flight cost which was significant but "not under our control" BS....

Just an FYI for those that may have alternate posibilities...eliminate any United connection through EWR....we are holding our breath for our January trip to SXM...
