As mentioned in a previous thread, we're looking at flights from FCO-TPA using FF miles for our return to the states next fall. Our FF miles are with American Airlines.
Right now I'm leaning towards breaking up the flight into two legs - Either Rome directly to a US hub, or Rome to London or Madrid, then onto a US hub. I want to do the transatlantic flight, spend the night in a U.S. airport, then fly to Tampa the next morning. Because of Brexit, and possible schedule changes, I'm wondering if I might be 'safer' to book a flight through Madrid rather than through London.
I don't know anything about the Madrid airport, but it has to be smaller than Heathrow and less confusing, doesn't it?
