Welcome to FT cathay750!

2.5 hours should be just enough time. Depending on the airline(s) you use, you may have to re-check bags.

There is no customs/passport control to leave the United States. On your return flight, you will deplane in a "sterile" area and have nowhere else to go but customs, so don't worry about that.

Have a wonderful trip!
