Yes, I was and found out about them cancelling that flight by someone here on this board back on February 11, so we rebooked the flight with JB. Also check your return flight, as it is probably changed coming back also.....As they didn't send me an update on the change that they did.....

We booked the United flight out of EWR for Oct 24 with a return on Nov 13. Because we have "make notifications" listed, we found out early about the change. After an hour plus on the telephone, United put us on USAir going down, but we had to return a day later, or spend a night in New York. No recompense for the extra day and hotel, but we do have the United flight leaving Saturday for EWR. Two days ago, USAir notified us of a change from USAir to American, but at least a direct flight from CLT, with no Miami stop. We were able to book an extra day at Beachside Villas, as we found out about the change early. We would not be able to get that extra day booked now as they are full for those dates. Hopefully, United does not change their SXM to EWR flight.
When you are flying from the west coast, the logistics of finding decent connections when your flights are changed is daunting, to say the least.

757 (Prior) vs. 737 (present)...
Fuel Cost Winner: 737-800
Fueling the 737-800 costs $7.02 less per nautical mile than the 757-300, a margin that can make all the difference in the long-run.
Obviously they are multiple versions of both models but I really doubt they would chose an aircraft that costs more to operate

HI..My wife and I were booked on a non stop flight from Newark to SXM on Saturday Oct.24..I check flights i book quite often and found out they "discontinued" flights out of Newark on Saturdays..well needless to say i was unhappy and had the United booking agent find a flight with nearly the same parameters for the $432pp round trip i originally purchased! Now im flying down to Miami with American from JFK with a 2 hour layover, changing planes and the flying American non stop to sxm...will be arriving at sxm at 2pm Saturday 10/24..not too bad but not non stop to SXM..non stop back to Newark on United on 10/31..The price stayed at $432 round trip, which was my main concern..Thanks

We flew on Saturday this year. Have they now gone back to Friday departures - this is from EWR.
