1. AA has a new tie-up with B6, such that you can earn AA miles on B6 flights. And B6 has service to BOS/LGA/JFK from both PBI and FLL -- with an extensive route network from FLL (including Mint service to LAX and SFO).

2. AA is revamping its program for attaining elite status in 2022. You might want to familiarize yourself with the new program (there's a thread in the FT AA forum) before making your decision. AA elites will enjoy some benefits when flying B6, and B6 flights credited to the AAdvantage program will count towards earning AA status.

Good luck!
