I am a bit confused to know whether this is all on one ticket or not. If not, it would take a few extra minutes to checkin in ATL.
It's all on one ticket so we will be checked all the way through. A minimum connection time of 35 minutes sure sounds more reasonable to me. Wouldn't it be nice if this information was actually available on the Delta website?

Also, FYI, there is loads of award availability SAT-EWR on Dec. 30 in First.
Yes, there is. Unfortunately, my wife and I only have exactly 25,000 miles each from the recent Ambassador promotion, so it's coach for us. I can live with it for $160 per ticket, however, even though the regional jet from ATL-SAT isn't exactly my idea of a joyous event.
