Some of them have been refitted with IFE but IMO it really doesn't matter because children don't dictate airline choices to their parents especially if it involves a tight, risky multi airport connection which entails the inconvenience of having to arrange and pay extra for ground transportation, check in, and clear security at another entirely different airport almost 30 miles away just so they can have IFE.

Gotta say, there ain't much "H" there in that "O." The children wouldn't be "dictating" anything. You really think telling me that I could connect on AA is helpful? I'm AA Lifetime Gold and coming in from GCM on AA. If I wanted an AA connection I wouldn't be here asking the question. The AA planes on this route stink, with horrible Gogo WiFi and no IFE whatsoever. All I was asking for here was local knowledge about the timing, because there are multiple GCM-MIA flights on AA. If you all think this timing is too tight, then I can simply take a GCM-MIA flight 2 hours earlier. You may disagree with the priorities that my family and I have, but you also have no idea what it's like to be the parent of a special-needs child who's difficult to keep entertained on a long flight. So please stick to the question asked rather than delving into parenting advice. Thanks.
