Hi
I need to fly from New York to DFW (to board a QF flight home that I booked months ago - which is an award booking)
Now, I have a few options, but I've narrowed it down to the following - I can either use up some of my QFF points and fly American Airlines direct from LaGuardia to DFW, total of 36,000 points for 2 pax, flying in an old MD-80 with no inflight entertainment at all, and from reading reviews of AA not a fun airline to fly with - even if it is only a 4 hour flight and will charge us $25.00 ea per suitcase
Or,
I can pay for a flight with Jetblue @ $160.00 USD each but the flight has 1 stop in Boston for 1.15 hours and we will have to change planes.
I'm in a quandry as to what to do. I have read that AA is not all that good and that Jetblue are great and have inflight entertainment, serve a snack and allow 1 suitcase each at no charge per pax.
We intend to fly into DFW 24 hours before we are due to board our QF flight home just to be on the safe side (don't want to miss the QF flight home)
Is 36,000 points too much to burn for what seems will be a lousy AA flight but has one good point....being a direct flight, OR should I spend the $320.00 USD and not worry about the 1 stopover with JetBlue and the possibility of missing the connecting flight if the 1st flight is delayed and save my points.
Your thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated.
