Everyone has good points. But I think that I will stick with Jet Blue out of JFK for the following reasons:

DirectTV with free movies to Aruba.

Free Snacks (DD Coffee )
Much more comfortable seats, wider, and more foot room(have spoken to a friend who is a Continetal Elite Platinum Member, that is over 75,000 miles a year, he even said that Coach seats for Continental are horrible)

If price drops they will refund difference WITHOUT a re-booking charge, compared to Continental's $150

No Charge for first piece luggage (I know that I would get 1st pc free on Con. but the way they seem to change things I just don't trust them)

Car service is only $10 more to JFK vs Newark.

If I compare the prices I paid last year on Jet Blue, they are very similar to prices NOW. I know that you can never tell what will happen. But even if the price is the same or even a little higher Jet Blue in my mind is a better decision, especially when traveling with 2 young kids for the TV and Snacks!

Oh well thanks again for all the useful information!!!!
If anyone disagrees with my synopsis let me know, I know it is a personal thing, but I like to get peoples feelings!
I agree it probabaly makes more sense for you I just can't take an additional hour ride in the car, that would be a 2 hour ride for us to get to JFK. Maybe when the kids get a bit older and easier. It's tough enough on the plane right now. You are an hour from me to the north so it's def easier for you. Good stuff.
