The porter charge $3 per bag and is kind of a crap shoot whether it'll save you any time. I've learned to just check it out when I arrive and decide accordingly.

You DO NOT have to fill out customs forms in the STT airport anymore, which makes the Customs/Immigration line go much quicker. However, now there is often a line to drop your checked luggage, in addition to the line for TSA. It's fairly easy to peek in the doors and check out the line situation for both the porters and the gen pop, and then decide if a porter is worth it for you, based on the number of bags you have and how much time you have to spare.

I'm usually dragging my iSUP, so I lean towards using a porter - I also have Delta status & a known traveler number, so the rest of it is a breeze smile
