When going to SXM we always go through Charlotte. Ten years ago, when our SXM flight to CLT was delayed we were put on a flight to Phili. We had no lines at customs or going back through security again. Now we always schedule our home flight through Phili and have the same no lines situation. It may be the time of day (early evening) we are arriving, but it couldn't be a better experience. I am always amused when I read about bad experiences in Phili, but for 10 years it couldn't be better for us.
