Thank you so much, Starfish, for your response. I've been trying to convince myself for the past few years to apply but because of the 8 hour round trip from Maine (no sites for GE here) to Boston and my medical conditions, I just decided to skip it. I have been lucky with my last few incoming flights since I only have one carry on piece and have usually been seated toward the front of Delta flights (even as a Silver nobody, I will be in the preferred aisle seat right beyond the C+ seats since I cannot chance a middle seat). People have been very kind in business and first class in letting me scoot past them (since I get everything ready quickly) and Terminal E in Boston gives me about 15-20 more minutes than Terminal A. Still, if my flight gets in with many other international flights, it's a disaster.
Thanks for your help!
