You may want to look at this thread for things to do, where to eat, etc at CLT:

From my experiences at CLT, 90 min was about the time I've needed to de-plane, grab something on the go, then get to my new gate. But I usually am going between mainline (wherever the PHX-CLT planes are) and express or international.



I also agree with some comments about some exit rows being better than F on some planes (I think 10a/f on the A319, and I think 10f on the A321, as well as 22d/f). I've even had some FA's give better service to these rows since they knew everyone in them was elite.

Guess I'm in the minority, but I like being in row 1 when I'm in F. There is usually plenty of room to get by if I'm in a window and need to get up. I really hate the last row, especially in winter (when there are big coats behind what limited recline is quickly diminished). If I can't put my bags directly over my seat, I put them as close as possible, then get up as soon as I can to grab them before de-planing.
