Sounds like the opposite of what they are doing in Ft. Lauderdale, allowing for connections. Makes sense to me, then people won't have to overnight in order to make a connection there. I really wish Jet Blue would do that in FLL, as that 7 AM flight from FLL is a PITA, to me...

Airlines are in business to make money. I wish they would go to a much later schedule for FLL, as we have to drive 3 hours to get there, so if we decided to take that flight, we would probably have to overnight in FLL, even here from Florida.

I personally am NOT a morning person, so any schedule that involves me getting up at 4 AM just wouldn't be my optimum schedule! The good news is that you will have longer on SXM on your last day, so it kind of all works out..

For those of us who have to get up at 2:30 am to catch those those 7 am JFK departures, I think the later departure is great. Travel day is always a wasted day in my book but the truth is, I think the airlines reasons for the changes have more to do with their bottom line than anything to do with their customers conveniences. Just a guess but I’m thinking those full flights are more likely than not the reason for the changes.
Respectfully,

Speaking of Jet Blue, anyone have a guess when they will extend their schedule? I'm trying to decide whether to go ahead and book for June on AA from Miami or wait till the JB schedule comes out and think about FLL...

OK, that solves that, as there's no way I'm waiting until November!! They are booking almost through April now. They only extend 45 days at a time??

That's really not fair on their part, if they do. Of course, if they change the time by several hours, one could cancel and get all your money back.

Sorry, I think that people beat up AA much more than is necessary. And if your post is intended to say that AA is going under, I would say 'no'. The nonstop from Miami on AA has been pretty darn solid for us for the past 10 plus years. I don't really know, but according to what eightzerobits posted, I'd have to wait until November to book, and I don't want to wait that long... The price right now on AA is $360 r/t, which is a GREAT price, versus prices in the past, and I am loathe to lose that price, with waiting that long.

Agreed....this particularly flight with AA has a great track record and would jump at that price...Booked and done and what happens later good or bad with another airline is irrelevant. You know what you are getting.

I was debating that flight for our January departure but cringed at the 0540 departure and a 3+ hour layover. Went with United leaving around the same time (6am) but only a 90 minute layover...a bit less in price but basically the same cost. (used miles) thought you were from Mass. If so, why not the 7:15 am from BOS on Saturdays in March?

I was debating that flight for our January departure Yup, from MA but on the RI line (Seekonk).....so prefer PVD but won't do AA unless I have to ....January trip...not March ...departing on Sunday...not Saturday..and there is no 0730 JB departure Saturday or Sunday (12th) in January ....commented on your mention of the 0540a flight in March which also is live in January

Sammy, Miami's D Concourse is literally 1.2 miles long, with 51 gates and a Skytrain with 4 stops. AA has the entire D Concourse, as well as gates in the E Concourse. The E concourse has two sets of gates, High E and Low E, which are connected by a train. The question is, where do you arrive, and where do you depart? Sound appealing?
I agree regarding AA at PHL. I've been lucky the last two times I transited there, but everything prior to that was a cluster.
