Thank you everyone - decision made just now, in and out of JFK!! and she can take our car home (parked in long term at the airport) then come get us later in the week!!!! Amazing when you actually sit and think about all the scenarios! I was leaning toward Philly as she could always get back to CT via plans, trains and automobiles, but this should work, direct flights and no issues - Hopefully - AA down and JB back!
