Just got off the phone with Delta. My ticket has been reissued and the flights look good. I will, of course, have a 9 hour layover at JFK. The current plan is to purchase a day pass for the SkyClub. While it isn’t a bed, it will be a nice place to relax all day. Flying stand by is good news and bad news. The woman at the reissue desk was very nice and very helpful. I am definitely keeping my fingers crossed that I get Business Class but more than that I just want to get there. The anxiety of trying to get there has overshadowed my panic about flying.
