Question about connecting flight
I book flight from EZE to ICN.
EZE-IAH-LAX-NRT-ICN
At IAH, I only have 1hr 40mins connecting time. I should pass immigration office at IAH.
And then, at LAX, I only have I hr 46mins connecting time.
All ticket is UA issued ticket. So, I do not concern baggage.
But I wonder that I have enough time for taking next flight at IAH and LAX.

If I recall, its a pretty long walk in IAH to immigration. I think you need to collect your baggage then recheck it. rechecking is no issue, but you have to wait for your bag. Then it depends which gate your IAH-LAX is departing from, may need to walk all the way back. Do you have GE and/or TSA-pre? That will help

I believe he only needs to collect it in IAH (first port of entry into US). Then recheck when exiting the inspection area. Then it should be checked thru to his destination. The IAH connection is the only one I'd worry about, but its doable.

Last time (August I think), I remember coming out of GE. There was a guy with a tablet with an arrow that randomly assigned you to the left or right lane. Then you went up an escalator. Once I got up there I inquired about TSA-pre. They said that the guy should have checked me. They got a scanner to verify, then put me in the TSA-pre line. Didnt take off shoes, didnt take out anything, no body scanner.

I don't know how it used to be but I came through IAH on the 11th on my way back from PTY. GE was a breeze but then a long line to go through security for my connecting flight. I asked a TSA guy if they ever have a precheck lane and he said no.
