I have found that lost/delayed luggage was more of an issue going through
PR vs Miami.

Hmm, looks like Miami again. And some people say that PHL is a zoo airport :wink: The only benefit of going through San Juan is the flight gets in STT one hour earlier. That is one more hour in paradise. Decisions....
When will I see St John again?

San Juan has many more flights to STT than Miami so if there is a delay or some other problem you're assured to get to your destination a lot sooner. San Juan get's my vote. (Used STJ 2 of 4 times to STT)

We went via San Juan once with no problems. Our luggage made it, even though we had a short connection. People didn't exactly line up in an orderly fashion to get on the plane, but I just fiured they could go first if they wanted to--the less time sitting on the plane, the better for me.

I won't go through Miami any more after one bad experience. I was heading down to Key Largo for a week of diving, and the descent into Miami was so steep that my sinuses felt like they were going to explode! I didnt have any congestion, but it took a couple of days to clear up and I missed a day of diving. It was really annoying.
It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.
