Hi all. My wife and I are flying SFO-JFK on DL tomorrow (Sunday, July 3) and then JFK-SVO-ATH on SU. Originally, we were on DL 1859, arriving JFK at 3:08 pm. The SU flight leaves at 7:10 pm. This morning, Delta canceled the SFO-JFK leg and placed us on DL 444, arriving JFK at 5:09.

The wrinkle: we booked the international leg through Delta using SkyMiles, and booked the domestic flight with cash so they are two separate (Delta) reservations. We will have checked bags. If we can get the agent at SFO to interline the bags, and if the flight's on time, can we make it? We'll already have our SU boarding passes.

I've called Delta a couple of times so far today, but there is no availability this evening to JFK (or LGA/EWR) that can get us into NYC any earlier on Sunday. Good news is, NYC weather appears to be fine tomorrow.

If it matters, we are C+ on the Delta flight and Business on the Aeroflot flight.

Thanks for any advice.
