I am not sure if my issue is due to only flying on Saturday's. But the cost to fly into EIS is much much higher than STT and takes a lot more time. Flying out of CLT I can almost always get a direct flight to STT and have no worries about luggage. We have also learned over the years that a backpack each and a duffel bag suffice for the BVI. That keeps all my stuff in my control not the airlines. Agree with you about AA. But with CLT as one of their hubs, it is what it is.
