Yes I realize that but any airline can be chancy. We have one connection on the way down from SEA through Philadelphia and the other 3 flights going to SXM and returning to SEA all go through CLT. Would have preferred to go through CLT instead of Philly but the price was to good to pass up. Hoping that one will be rescheduled to CLT. We'll see what happens. Plenty of time between now and then.
