In April, our flight was to depart at 2:30pm SXM - Phil, we had 1:10 connection time to clear and recheck. When we got to the gate in SXM, we had the "delayed" board. Talked to the US Airways/AA reps, but they knew nothing, said it would be handled in Phl. We finally took off 1 1/2 hours late, got to Phl and they met us at the gate "here are your tickets for tomorrow and here is a room voucher for tonight, now hurry and make your plane". We had a terrific wheel chair gal who grabbed a baggage guy who did the recheck, we made it to the plane as they were closing the doors, so happy to make that plane!! Luggage did not show up til the next evening, but that was ok, we were home. We always seem to be late on US Airways, have overnight in CLT several times. The place is ok, but we just want to get home! Envy you east coasters!
