Rare MrBill923 Posted April 22 #1 Share Posted April 22 Just wondering about this to help arrange flight times. Where is Customs checks going to PPT and returning to LAX? Just want to make sure we have enough time for connections. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightMedic555 Posted April 22 #2 Share Posted April 22 Going, customs and immigration are at the PPT airport. Usually no more than an hour to get through. On the return you go through immigration in PPT which opens about 3 hours prior to your flight. This has never take us more than 15 minutes. Arriving in LAX you go through immigration which has usually taken us about 30. Inures but it can be much longer. If you have a connecting flight out of LAX I would give at least 3 hours for a layover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahitianbigkahuna Posted April 22 #3 Share Posted April 22 Where your sitting on the plane dictates how long it takes to get through immigration/customs at PPT. If your in business class or premium economy it goes quickly, usually out within 30 minutes. If your in the back of the plane it could take an 45 - 60 minutes. On the return if you have Global Entry we get through quickly, usually get to baggage before the our bags do. If you don't have Global figure 30 - 45 minutes before you get your bags. There is a bag drop off after you've cleared customs ... there is now passage through to the other terminals without going through security again. Maybe I should do a video on this ...

Rare MrBill923 Posted April 22 Author #4 Share Posted April 22 Thanks this is good info. On our way back to home, we have a 6 hour wait at LAX to depart to ORD. What are our options for our luggage as we won't be able to check those for several hours. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
