Here's my question. I booked Virgin Atlantic today to fly nonstop to London from Boston. I actually live in Charleston, SC. (Small airport and expensive!) I got a great deal on the flight and will soon be looking for flights from CHS to BOS.
If my flight from LHR arrives in BOS at 1545, what is the earliest time you'd consider for the flight from BOS to CHS?
I know I'll have to clear customs, leave the international terminal and check back in and (re) clear customs to fly back home.
Should I be looking at flights leaving a 2000?
Any advice would be appreciated.
I think the minimum connection time in Boston is 90 minutes. As for customs, what time of year are you flying? If this is peak summer travel, I would give yourself an hour to clear customs at this time. If your flight is delayed, it'll land smack in the middle of the other international flights coming in at that time, which could mean another 30ish minutes. All in, I would be comfortable with a flight anytime after 1900.
