Transit Through PHL
 
Hi All
I am travelling from MAN to TPA in December. We have a transit through PHL, which will be my first point of entry, so presumably I will have to clear immigration etc here before my onward flight. I have approximately 2 hours between flights.
Question: What is the typical delay to clear immigration and how long does it take to get from Terminal A to Terminal B?
Many thanks:)

Correct.

Two hours should be sufficient. Once you clear customs, you'll actually leave the secure area of the airport. You'll then need to recheck your luggage and reclear security (so don't plan on bringing in any liquids with you).

Many thanks.... and a great thread link!

This may sound dumb; the return leg (TPA/PHL/MAN) I assume all baggage will be 'checked through' as last year with AA transiting through ORD.
I assume, again, that on the return I will not have to leave airside, just change terminals without leaving/re-entering through security.

Again, many thanks

Yes. Check 'em in TPA and pick 'em up in MAN.
