Port OF Entry

[CowBoE 429]

The big drawback of the POE not being your destination is that you have to claim your bags, go through customs inspection and recheck them. If your stop is non-POE they can check your bags right through. Much more convenient.

I live in New York and can tell you there is no problem using JFK as your POE. The line can get a bit long sometimes, but they know what they are doing and will get you through with little or no pain.

Exactly, I'm thinking of having my fiancee fly from Shanghai to Seoul (Korea), and do a direct flight to Houston.

That way bags are checked in all the way, and I don't mind if POE or baggage checks takes little more time

because now she's in the home city.

Operated by British Airways 10h 40m Take-off Tue 2:30p LHR London, ENG, United Kingdom Landing Tue 5:10p PHX Phoenix, AZ

Direct Flight,the source is Kayak... However way too expensive.

Wow! Phoenix has moved up in the world since I used to live there -- it was hard to get non-stop flights even to major US cities, let alone London! Thanks for the info (even though I can never afford to fly British Air -- their flights always seem to be among the most expensive).
