The return flight I am on the fence. I am not sure which way to go. A 2 hour layover in CLT which sounds like a easier airport to layover in or a 2 1/2 hour layover in PHL which can be a more difficult to layover in. Both flights leave Cancun 30 minutes apart.

What do you guys think?
Forgive me for not reading upthread, but either airport is fine for that duration layover. I find both easy to navigate. In winter, obviously, Philly is much more susceptible to snow, so weather is a slightly bigger issue. If there is an earlier flight home from either (ie a 45 minute connection you could move up to if you get in early/on time and move fast through customs) then that would tip it for me.
