Deciding whether to cancel our mid-January United flight (for flight credits) and switch to Delta because of the blocked seats thing. $473 Main /$651 Comfort+ BOS through either JFK or ATL. JFK only a 50 minute layover which could be iffy in the winter....aircraft (JFK-SXM) is almost empty which doesn't give me confidence

Loved having that empty seat....

Hmmmm.....
