Option 1- PHL arrive international by AA with a 2 hour connection before a southwest flight (terminal E). Will need to recheck bags .

Option 2 JFK /LGA . Arrival international by AA to Jfk with a 3 hour connection flying southwest out of LGA. Would be mid afternoon mid week so probably not tons of traffic between airports .

Which option has the better chance of making connection ?

Thanks !
Option #1 . A lot more things can go wrong in transferring between airports than just transferring between terminals. However, for either option, you should have a backup plan in case you can't make your Southwest flight.
