It all depends on where your POE is and the time of day! Our POE was Chicago-Ohare and we landed around 2:30pm. We had a connecting flight at 5pm to KC and by the time we got to our gate, they were already boarding. Personally, I would have at least 3 hours before your connecting flight.

depends on the immigration line. i think i got it around 30-40 mins from the moment i got out of the plane to the immigration, to get my luggage and have it checked by the custom. then check my luggage in again to an easy "drop-off" ...i had 2 hrs and 30 min lay over in sanfran before heading to denver so it was a good amount of time to adjust all the delays and complications... good luck!!! happy trip and God bless!

I'd say it depends. If you're going to a large airport such as Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas etc., your line is definitely going to be longer. If your POE is a smaller airport such as Houston, Minneapolis, Detroit, etc., your line will be shorter.

I always say better safe than sorry. Make sure you have at least 3-4 hours and bring plenty of Sudoku books ;)

What I'm planning to do is fly my fiancee either to Minneapolis or Chicago which are the nearest (main) POEs in the area where I will be. When she gets here, I'll be about 80 miles north of Kansas City (I live in San Antonio except during the summer, I live in northwest Missouri) and will drive to pick her up at the POE so that she will not have to deal with other problems at the airport. I also figure that she will enjoy the scenery, even if it's another 5-6 hours drive :)

Where are you at? Maryville? That would be a nice drive to Minneapolis. It would give your Fiancee a chance to see the Heartland.... :thumbs:

That's funny. Actually, I went to college at Northwest, but I'm originally from Bethany; it'd be an easy drive considering I-35 runs through Bethany and would take me straight to Minneapolis :). Yeah, I think it'd be a nice gesture and make things easier for her if I make sure that her POE is where I can drive to pick her up, or if I arrange to fly to her POE even if it's in Dallas, LA, etc.
