Sorry, what do you mean, go through customs again? Atlanta would be your first arrival into the US, so obviously you have to go through US customs and immigration there. Then once you are in Atlanta, you re-check your checked bags and proceed to your gate.

As a Canadian, your luggage should be checked right through to Toronto. That is your point of entry for Canadian customs. Why would you have to go through US customs when you are in transit to Canada? Perhaps a call to Delta would clarify the situation.

Thanks Kate. I guess that is a good reason not to fly through the US from SXM.It is a real pain claiming your luggage ,rechecking it , and then going through security again. Travelling used to be enjoyable, but not anymore! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />

You have to go through US Customs when you enter the USA (that is very normal)....you will than also have to go through Canadian Customs when you enter Canada (that is very normal)....your luggage will not be checked through to Canada....you will have to claim your luggage at the US stop and recheck it (that is very normal)......when you fly from Toronto to the US you go through US Customs in Toronto (that is normal)..... you also have to go through SXM Customs when you arrive there (that also is normal).
