I wish I would had known about this site last year, when I really started to travel. ^
The other flights returning from BOS-DTW are in the early morning, so that's not an option but at least I know in the future that I can change my flight.
I love how they put you on a CRJ for the longest part of the flight.
Thanks to everyone for their help, and I'm sure I will have more questions in the future.
