I would recommend the 3.5hr option.. particularly if that is the only flight to CUN of the day or it is very important to get there on time.

Thanks for the advice.So I decided to add a extra day to my vacation and I will be leaving a day earlier. I have a few more options on flights and would everyone's thoughts on which one to choose.

We have the choice for the flight there to be:

layover in PHL for 65 minutes to arrive in Cancun at 10:45am
layover in CTL for 1 hr and 20 minutes to arrive in Cancun 11:40 am

I wouldn't mind being in cancun almost a hour earlier but I don't know if this is enough time in PHL. Out of those two which one do you guys recommend?

We were thinking about picking a flight to return home with a layover in CTL of 2 hours. Do you guys think that will be enough time to clear everything? There was another option of layover in PHL for 2 1/2 hours. Do you guys think one airport is easier to deal with then another?

Thanks for all the advice of everyone here
