Hi, Robin,

Yes, we easily can and quite often do take the JB n/s flights in and out of JFK but we booked AA to SXM due to some left over ticket dollars from last years cancellations post Irma along with a really good Business Class fare sale we lucked into, and we were actually booked using the last of our AA ff miles for the flight home. The nice thing was, since we had to do a change somewhere via AA, we were booked SXM to CLT and into White Plains (HPN) which is about a 25 minute ride from home and without the hassles of JFK.

I'm leaving things alone for the time being since AA has assured me I can make changes down the road IF the preferred flights are returned to the schedule. And if not, I probably will end up booking JB n/s into JFK since we really do prefer to arrive back through T5 there.
