Thanks Carol. This is my sister-in-law and niece and nephew, both 13 (will be 14 next May). They live in Apollo Beach, just outside of Tampa. So, around 30 minutes to TPA. Yes, it looks like AA is the way to go, as of the May flight schedules. I also looked at Orlando (MCO) but the layovers are the same short ones. I googled to see how long the drive was from Tampa to Miami, thinking driving may be the way to go as well. Any advice is welcome! Much appreciate it! smile My sister coming in from Austin won't have a choice, but to fly, obviously.
