If I take the AA flight from DUB to JFK, where would I clear customs?
The layover in JFK is only 85 minutes....
I'm currently sat in ORD Admirals Lounge waiting for last part of my outbound MAN-SAT TP run having departed from DUB this morning. It took me nearly 2h from check-in to gate due to amount of people going through pre-clearance, I also had to go through second 'interview' before passport was stamped due to something being flagged on my first attempt (they wouldn't tell me what). So had no time for any lounge which I was a bit gutted about as I've heard only good things. So bear in mind even with fast track and having visited the US on your current passport previously to anticipate the same kind of delays you might get when entering the US without pre-clearance.
That said, the AA 787 is a fairly decent plane, and 1D a decent seat, and I had a great crew. Thanks to all on this forum for their sage advice and bringing these deals to my attention. Now onto silly hot temperatures and great BBQ!
