POEs.. any one better than another?

[Saddle Bronc 124]

Not easily. it would be memphis, which is about 8 hours (one way). To fly from one of these adds between 45 minutes and 2 hours, so I think you see a slight time disparity That would involve renting a car since mine probably wouldn't make it. It would be a huge hassel. I get violently car sick and that would be a horrid nightmare for me It's just easier to fly. Our airport goes to DFW, Chicago, Memphis, Denver, and like 2 others. We have 3 airlines which come in.

Are you sure though that Memphis is closer to you than DFW?

(having actually driven from Memphis to Dallas before).

Yeah, but just barely. Also I've driven to memphis before, but my only experience with DFW is being IN the airport. Being that I hate driving with a passion, and I don't have a lot of time since I work (and I don't have any extra money to be renting cars) this is an inconvinient and time-consuming option. I'm dreading the 30 minute drive to my own airport, during which I will probably throw up at least once.

And LOL! Can you imagine? he may rething coming here when faced with vomit and a car with no A/C in the summer if I drove! Although i guess I would ahve to rent a car to be sure my car didn't die, so scrap the no A/c.

But LOL! Could you imagine? Welcome to america! (blehhhh).

Last option I can think of would be to find a job in the POE city (Memphis and Dallas are reasonable for this purpose; airportwise, I agree that Memphis is much easier) before summer--a partial solution, as this would eliminate the connexion (and also some of the confusion in the case of Dallas) issues.

Why? He can just fly into my airport. He'll just fly into chicago. Then connect to my airport. It's simple, and one connection total. I'm not trying to avoid a connnection. I was just asking if anyone has any experience in knowing which were the most friendly.

Mohammed came into Chicago. They were very professional and friendly to him. It did take 3 hours due to alot of international flights arriving at the same time. But there was no questioning, just stamping his I94 and welcoming him to America.

Since I live in Texas, can anyone tell me the POE choices for us? THanks

Atlanta is one the worst places for POE. I feel for the ME/NA person who uses it. In fact, I feel sorry for anyone ethnic looking person....

I know NYC and Chicago are pleasant, but slightly longer POE. Detroit, I know takes about 20minutes to get throu. ME/NA or any other countries....easy entry.

Houston and San Diego also seem to be tuff POEs (checking the POE reviews)

Ahmkri: Your choices depend on which airline your SO is coming in on, but in TX POE is Dallas (which seems to be easy) and Houston (seems to be difficult)

POEs are international airports.

DFW, IAH for example

My fiance just entered through Houston IAH and took just under one hour but was the first in line

Boston was super for my husband. It took him about an hour to get off the plane, through immigration and customs, get his bags and walk out that door.

Our only problem was that I missed him walking out the door .... Britney must have been doing something scandalous in my People magazine

Maybe for someone making connexions. I've used Atlanta TWICE as POE (once from Gatwick, other from Brussels) with no probs (of course, I lived in metro-Atlanta at the time, so no further connexions); and I am of OBVIOUS visible-minority.

NYC pleasant? Maybe at Newark, definitely not at JFK.

Agree on Detroit (which Pras came through).

In which case you get "six-of-one/half-dozen-of-other" exchange. IAH is a fairly simple (similar to Dorval) airport, while DFW is extremely confusing (and I happen to like Dallas as a city).

julianna, would using Detroit as POE, then to Memphis, then fly home work?
