I just checked on our 1-1-16 PHL - SXM flight ( originally booked on USAir ) and found out that it is no longer a non-stop flight. Instead of leaving at 9:35 AM, we leave at 7:35 AM, and we have to connect in Miami. We have 47 minutes scheduled to connect in Miami, and are then scheduled to arrive in SXM at 3:16 PM, instead of 2:36 PM, as originally scheduled on the non-stop.

I read somewhere that American was going to maintain USAir flights for 3 years, post merger - but that is not the case. Funny thing is that I never received any notification from American about the schedule change - I just happened to check my booking on line.

Also, the 47 min. connect in Miami seems very tight. Even if we make it, I am not sure that our luggage will follow. Glad it is not a ski trip !
