Next week I am flying with 3 young children on BA (MAN-JFK) - this flight arrives JFK 12:45pm. On a seperate booking we are connecting to AA320 (JFK-MIA), departing 3:40pm. The AA ticket is a deep discounted economy (too dear to travel biz class with 5 of us).

I would like some advice as to what is AA policy if we miss the JFK-MIA flight due to delay of the BA flight.

As it happened, yesterday in Manchester there was a power failure at the airport which resulted in cancelled/delayed flights. The MAN-JFK flight was delayed 3 hours (arrived 3:37pm into JFK).

Having 3 young ones with us, I am somewhat concerned regarding this possibility.

Many thanks for your advice
