85 minutes connect time is usually sufficient to even get me some AC lounge time -- even with the long walks.

In my experience, it seems to work that way. But rather often, I've had to wait thirty or so minutes before my abbreviated name comes up on the screen and allows me to proceed to CBP pre-clearance and the security screening checkpoint.

Thanks for the insight. My concern isn't so much about the hour and a half connect time but that it seems to often be much less. Today's expected arrival of AC 857 is showing about 30 minutes behind (15:19).

Hi,
we are arriving at a Sunday at 02:20 pm with AC from Munich and leaving to Fort Myers ( USA) at 05:05 pm with AC 1234. If important flights are in Business Class 1 Ticket.
We are traveling under Esta no GE.
Will be the 2:20 hour time for connecting enough?
Thank you.
