I've scrolled through this thread and haven't found a definitive answer to a couple of my queries, so hopefully someone can help.
As a first timer on American, I'll be flying out from BHX on EI later in the month and will arrive in DUB at 09:15. (I believe my luggage with go all the way through to my final destination as I'll be transferring to another flight at CLT.)
The flight to CLT leaves at 11:45 and I've read differing people's experiences as to how long it takes to go through US Clearance. Will about two and a half hours be enough time to get from my plane to actually boarding? I'll be travelling in J so, as a transit passenger, am I right in thinking that there is a Fast Track lane?
Re: electronic items in hand luggage. It'll just be my phone and a digital compact camera. Can they remain in the carry on bag when it goes through the machine?
Thank you in advance for your help.
