Thumbs down why duration changes for flights RIC to SXM
Has anyone read/heard why there is a huge layover duration for flights to/from RIC/SXM (or any destination?).

I plan to call the airlines (Delta/American/USAir) and question this, but I just wondered if I have missed something.

I have been flying to Sint Maarten/St. Martin for the last 25 years. This year while looking for flights I noticed that there is a huge difference in the layovers for the flights. One direction is only 5-6 hrs, while the other direction is 14 to 21 hours.

Thanks in advance,
