Depending on what time your MAN-PHL flight arrives, you may likely find yourself in a long and slow line for immigration. PHL baggage delivery is snail-like, after which you will find yourself in a line to get out of the hall and past the customs inspectors who collect the blue customs forms as passengers shuffle by. Then you have a line to re-check your bag with your onward carrier, then you have to go through security again, and only then do you get to run to the inter-terminal bus to F (where you will have to wait for the bus, which then takes about 10-15 minutes to load, drive, and unload).

In other words, move smartly and don't hit the bathrooms until you get to terminal F!
Thanks but should be able to skip the customs que with the GE though hopefully saving me some minutes
