Connecting in MIA on the way down in November, but paid a bit extra to connect thru CLT on the way home for this very reason. Skytrain has been down every time we've ever flown thru..not to mention the wait to get thru recheck and security.

That's exactly what turned us off on MIA. Last time we connected there, many elderly or infirm were really struggling with that long haul from the gate and with no assistance in sight. Not just on the airport IMHO..the airlines, cruise lines etc. are well aware of the situation and could work with the airport on a plan for when the Skytrain is down as often as it is.

Yes, they have wheelchair assistance in Miami. I have used it several times in the past. This year in June, the wheelchair assistance was actually good. Before that, it was AWFUL. VERY slow, no one speaks English, often you would get taken to one spot, dropped off, then wait another 10 minutes for someone else to come pick you up. We shall see how it is, moving forward. Especially with this situation, I predict they will be absolutely overwhelmed with wheelchair assistance requests. Service for wheelchairs has been historically slow there. i predict it will now be GLACIAL.
