The only thing I would say is that IF you are physically challenged, in order to navigate Miami right now, you need to get wheelchair assistance. The Miami SkyTrain has been out of service since September and connections can involve up to a MILE of walking. Link

Yes, for sure, shouldn't be any issue with snow in Miami. Miami in general is a cluster-f*ck, even without the SkyTrain situation. And we normally take a non-stop out of there.

I don't think it is worth $400+pp to change but I have started to really hate CLT. It is SO crowded. You literally cannot pull a bag through that airport without running over someone's foot. We love Miami.

CLT can be a challenge. It is the 10th busiest airport in the US. Passengers going through CLT has double in the last 20 years. They are currently going through a $4B overhaul. Hopefully that will help. It has to a degree so far. My biggest issue is parking. Availability and cost. As George said, getting around A, B, C and D is not bad. E is just a long walk. Security seems to be a breeze most times.

We come in from San Juan into the nice, new terminal and think, "This airport's not bad". Then we walk through a connecting tunnel into a low-ceilinged place akin to a 1940's bus terminal, from whence the short-haul flights depart. It is so deflating. Hey RW, and what's worse is they just finished remodelling terminal D at SJU! Improved, yes, but wow! Even though they now have a convenience store in D, one is best advised to hang out in the main part of the airport for any layover more than an hour.

Has the airport seen fit yet to make any electric carts to move people around from terminal to terminal? Some of those distances are really long. I wrote to the airport administrator about this once, but shockingly enough, ![grin grin](/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif) got no reply Call, Ask airline for a SSR - special services request for electric cart gate transfer

Fitzhughlaw--are you talking about no carts at SJU, or CLT or MIA? This thread is kind of confusing. They do have carts at MIA. Haven't personally been in CLT for a long time, so don't know about there.

Fithughlaw--OK. I wasn't sure. It's been a really long time since I've been through SJU, back when AA had a hub there.
