Flying home - what would you do?

We (my wife, myself, two kids 7 & 11) are flying out of Orlando to
catch our SAS-flight from Newark back home to Copenhagen. Our
SAS-flight leaves Newark at 17.50 (same as 5.50 PM ?).

Now, Song or Continental will fly us directly to Newark for 480$
total, while Jetblue or Song will fly us to JFK for only 350$ total.

If we fly to JFK we would of course have to allocate time to transfer
to Newark.

What would you do?

Pay the extra money to go to Newark. New York City traffic is heavy, you could
end up missing your flight.

Is that in U.S. funds?


As opposed to what?




As oposed to what ever funds for the country the .dk (Denmark?)
email came from! Or didn't you notice that?

Are we talking about a $130 difference in U.S. funds,
or foreign currency?



Well, they did use the DOLLAR sign.

If you go to Mexico you'll find that they use the $ before Mexican Pesos
amounts. When it come to currency, the USA doesn't have a corner on the
"$" symbol.

They are Danish people asking about flying from Orlando to the NYC area
to connect to a flight to Denmark. Why would they be stating the price
difference in pesos? And, if you look at the post I was replying to, the
guy was asking

So, my response to that was they used the dollar sign. Since they don't
use the dollar sign for the Danish Krone, then I assume they meant US
dollars as that was the only other option in the post I responded to.
He said "as oposed to whatever fund for the country"...

Spend the extra money to fly directly to Newark. Traveling from JFK
to Newark can easily take an hour or two and it will be a real hassle
with two kids and luggage in tow to transfer between airports.
