Using connecting flights - pros/cons?

I've done dozens of round trips to the USA and not once misconnected, so I really wouldn't worry. Just have a back up plan in case you do...

how do you NOT know. Did you buy 1 ticket, in 1 transaction, or did you buy 1 ticket to PHL and then another ticket to somewhere else???

if you bought 1 ticket, and it is all with US Airways, then you have 1 ticket, and you just change planes. It really isn't as complex as you're making it...

Thanks for your reply. When I decided to go to to Orlando, I searched on Expedia and Opodo and booked connecting flights on Opodo. This was all in one transaction. After my first couple of questions in this thread, I then discovered this is called a through ticket. I was just interested to hear other people's experiences as this forum is great for that.

You will still need to collect your baggage after immigration in PHL and recheck them at the recheck point.
