Not if you are returning through ATL and do not have Global Entry. We returned yesterday SXM/ATL/BOS. We had what seemed to be a two mile walk from the gate to immigration. Eight of ten Global Entry kiosks were working...nobody using them except us. Did our thing in under 60 seconds and went to get in line....the line, no exaggeration had to have multi-hundreds of people in it. The agent saw our GE receipt and diverted us to that officer....ZERO people in front of us....MAJOR advantage this time. MAJOR stress eliminator. Going TO SXM is fine with that connection. We had less and it was not an issue

..and...the SXM-ATL had 110 empty seats. The 11 rows behind us were totally empty with some passengers after that. The ATL-BOS flight was maxed out. If the middle seats weren't blocked I bet it would have been full. Probably makes sense for the airlines to concentrate the SXM legs until things pick up....not a comforting thought for already booked flights though
