explorer-c Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Hi guys, August is just a few weeks away and I've been trying to search for a suitable flight to the US. I'll be going to Atlanta and so far almost all the airlines that I want will have a connecting flight from either Chicago or JFK. So my question is, how long does it take to pass the immigration service and transfer to the next flight? Are 2-3 hours space enough? Any information on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblebee Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 From my experience, I can tell you that 2-3 hours is enough. Sometimes I have 1 1/2 hours to do everything (immigration and customs) and I manage to get to my boarding gate in time for the next flight. I don't know whether it's your first time in the US or not, but if it is, don't forget to pick up your luggage from the belt to go through customs. The first time I travelled to the US my luggage got stuck in Chicago because I had no idea I had to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK and O'Hare are always jam packed, but Midway in Chicago is usually nice and quick. Either case, I'd say 2-3 hours should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
