It's about an hour more going the other direction. Wish the night flight were the longer one!

Yes, you can avoid this. One example is flying Aer Lingus and preclearing in Dublin before your US arrival.

I've only seen prescreening in Toronto (I understand there are a few Canadian airports). I hope other European cities adopt this! That would be great! I flew out of CDG, LHR and FRA and none of those have this feature. Does Aer Lingus fly to the west coast non-stop?
Dublin has it. Wife lost out on getting her work permit stamp in JFK because of it when she moved here a couple years ago. They took all her paperwork and cleared customs. She landed at a domestic terminal at JFK. But no DUB-WestCoast flights I know of. Aer Lingus connects in ORD to the westcoast on a code share with UA as far as I have seen.
