Procedure for flying in transit through the US: is anyone aware...

[jimmy_the_builder]

Unless of course you take the late BA on the A380, they have moved the arrival gate and you go through a very small old skool immigration channel with rows of new electronic ESTA machines out of use and have to talk to a human. Last three trips ( this year) all the same.

Hopefully this will improve !

Fine if you are up the front not so good if you get off last ...

Are the global entry kiosks working?

Are the global entry kiosks working?

Two out of the three yes.

For those that don’t know these are not to be confused with ESTA !

...of what it's like, these days?

I will soon be on my way back home from Central America, with a stopover in Miami. Can anyone confirm:
1) if I should go across custom controls upon arrival in MIA (hence with the hassle of re-entering security controls afterward), or it's possible to wait for my flight over the pond directly inside the gates area? I hope for the latter, but I fear the first...
2) will it be possible to board the bags directly for the final destination?
I'm flying with BA tickets (though both flights are actually AA), if that matters.

TIA!

Don't buy any duty free.
When you transit, there is another security check & any booze will be confiscated.
