I've heard mixed reviews of clearing immigration and customs inspections at T6/T7. I'm not sure where, perhaps the United forum. If I find any, I'll come back and edit this post.
Thanks! I don't have to check luggage - it will be quick trip and back in 4 full days.
Cost is the sole reason to have separate tickets. It would have been thousands more on one PNR.
I will check out the link. Thanks again for the advice!
