I assume you're flying into ORD instead of MIA because the schedule and/or price is better? If it were me, I'd try to fly into CLT or MIA because they'll have better frequencies to MCO. And they are also less affected by weather and traffic than ORD.
Thanks for the reply. Yes this is on the same ticket. The real reason of doing it this way is my son is desperate to fly on the A380 which BA are operating next year.
we could get to MCO via JFK, PHL, CLT, MIA or DUB all around the same times but the A380 will keep them happy. Although there's maybe a higher risk due to tight connection and not as many AA flights.
Thanks again.
