Norm,
I would really hate to see you fly into JFK OR LGA in the winter months IF you can find any more southern route that would work for your FF miles.
We came home from SXM two years ago in December in a snowstorm and it wasn't pleasant. We spent three days worrying about the projected forecast before we left SXM and then hours at the airport agonizing over it until we finally departed from PJIA and then we worried all the way home about the 'what ifs' of landing and getting back to CT in the bad weather. It was a lot of stress and the worrying/wondering definitely took some of the pleasure from our last three days on the island. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
Respectfully,
pat

Yes, obviously Miami is a much better choice. I would say from personal experience though, as of NOW, AA doesn't charge anything to change FF tickets, if there is another FF flight available for the same amount of miles later on. So you can book something you are not happy with, and then if FF tickets come up later on (even so late as a week or even a DAY before your flight) you can change with no fee. We changed our return flight from SXM in December a DAY before our return home for no charge.

I think Norm would probably rather go through Miami too, to avoid weather issues in the winter, but MIA connection not available now. Based on personal experience, what is available changes by the day, so I might take a chance and book it now, IF he needs to use FF for sure.
