I would call DL and try to get them to put you on one of the ST flights via CDG & ATLwhich would keep on DL metal for most the trip. A holiday travel day in the winter is a recipe for disaster at JFK (so I would avoid that). It may take some time to find an understanding agent, hopefully someone can help.

Have you considered alternate departure or arrival airports?

There are no alternate departure airports in Bulgaria. MCO is close to MLB but I have no ride from MCO to my home. I can get a one-way car rental (MCO-MLB), but then I have to pay for the rental car, plus I'd rather not drive from MCO to MLB after that super long day of travel so late at night.

I'll keep playing around to see what I can come up with. Sounds like even though DL created all these problems for me, it's up to me to find a solution. I'm not in a favorable position to play the keep calling DL until I get a understanding agent game because I am in Bulgaria.

Can't argue with you about avoiding JFK. It's been ages since I've been there and it wasn't pleasant. Not that ATL is my favorite place to be either. Gosh, what a mess!

Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions.
