<p>FWIW, I totally chickened out our first year and just used JetBlue - nonstop flights, shortest travel time. (And you also get a JetBlue credit if the price drops after you book!)</p>
<p>This year (our second), although I still prefer JetBlue, it’s whatever works. And he’s done a lot of flying, with a lot of last minute changes . . . so Southwest has been a lifesaver!</p>
<p>Glad I could help . . .</p>
