We had the same issues with AA it was good for many years then the changes , for us capital one adventure card works , we take a service to JFK direct flight Jet Blue arrive before 1pm leave at 2:45 pm for return and home by 8:30 and all for what it would have cost from BDL with out all the delays and not going through Miami . It is a real joy not having to face all the BS at Miami and the late arrival . We are luck it works well for us .
