I’m inclined to agree with you, Carol.

There have been several occasions when this particular scenario has happened to us and each time the airline, in our case AA, has been agreeable to giving us almost any other flight we wanted that was the same final destination and day. And in one case we were booked AA 1st class, JFK to SXM through MIA and they allowed us to change our outbound to LaGuardia since it was a better departure time for us even though there were other flights available from JFK.

If you really fear the airline might go bust I can see taking the money but I’m skeptical that Delta will go that route and personally speaking I’d let it ride for at least a couple of weeks.
