Transit Time two hours at Chicago
I have a valid US Visa. I will be reaching Terminal 5 of ORD Chicago Airport at 20:00 from Heathrow (London) on American Airlines. And I am having a transit time of 2 hours, and I have to board a flight of American Airlines to St.Louis at Terminal 3. Will that 2 hours of time is sufficient for customs, Immigration check and boarding the flight?
Best Answer
Normally if you have a transit time this short you can ask the airline personnel to assist in expediting the matters. However, CBP had created a page with a report of the immigration wait times at various airports so you can get an idea of how long it might take you to pass through the immigration. The max waiting time indicated for immigration was over 2 hours for July 1st and 7th with an average waiting time for the same days and times being about 30 minutes.
So it's your call.

Is 2 hour layover enough in Chicago?
Two hours is more than enough time for a layover, since your bags will be checked straight through. You don't go through customs till you get to Dublin either. I too am traveling with CIE in September and bought my plane tickets through them; however if you have airline questions, go directly to the airline.Is 1 hour enough for connecting flights in Chicago?
