Arrival with Etihad Preclearance at T4 and then connecting flight from T2 [closed]

Arrival with Etihad Preclearance from AUH at T4 and then have a connecting flight from T2 (Delta) to Tampa. Can we take the inter terminal bus from T4 to T2 immediately after deboarding. Or is it necessary to exit T4 and then take train / shuttle bus to T2. Please advise Thanks

Best Answer

Your flight will generally(*) land as if it was a "domestic" flight, and you will be let out into the standard terminal 4 departures area. From there you will be able to catch the Delta Shuttle to terminal 2 if required. You will NOT need to re-clear security.

(*) Generally, because occasionally pre-cleared flights will still be forced to go through some level of immigration or customs control on arrival in the US. This is rare, but can happen. In this case you would need to re-clear security in either T4 or catch the airtrain to T2 and re-clear security there.

Where does immigration happen for connecting flights?

At the Gateway Point you will arrive at domestic terminal and you may proceed to the international terminal/departure lounge to complete Immigration and Customs Check formalities. Your Baggage would be directly transferred to the International Flight.

Is immigration required for connecting flights?

A passenger who has reserved their whole journey with one booking will be able to board their onward flight without having to clear immigration. Their baggage will be transferred to the connecting flight for them, whether both flights are with the same airline or different ones.

Do you go through border control on connecting flight?

Transit Security vs. Customs. In almost all cases, if your bags are checked through to your final destination and you already have your onward boarding pass, you'll go through transit security when you land at your connecting airport instead of customs.

How long should you leave before connecting flights?

Consider allowing at least 60 to 90 minutes for a U.S. domestic connection, and at least two hours for an international connection. Airlines usually allow you four hours or more maximum connecting time.
