We left sxm last Friday on AA to Charlotte on the 2:45 flight. Arrived at the airport around noon. We had to check in at the desk because AA's website would not let us check in for our second flight from Charlotte to Detroit. Only one person ahead of us in line. Got our luggage checked and our boarding passes for both flights and we're having lunch by 12:30. Love the new airport. Many good memories of the one before Irma, and the one around Louis which had no air conditioning and you sweltered while waiting for your flight, sitting on the floor leaning against a wall because there was never enough seating.
