Connection at IAD
Hello,
I browsed the forum and I am a little worried.
I have a flight LHR-MCO with a connection at IAD at the beginning of May. My flight from LHR lands at IAD at 7:28 pm and my flight to MCO is at 9:45 pm. Do you think the connection time is sufficient for a non-US citizen to clear C&I... ? Do you know if this period of the day is a peak time ?
Thank you in advance!

Welcome to FT!
You're past peak time (mid/late afternoon at IAD) so I think you'll be OK as long as your flight is on time.
You won't have to go to the main arrivals hall, but simply downstairs in the C terminal for customs. You clear security again in the basement and up you come back to the gates.

GRE has it right.
Just a heads-up: When you exit the plane at IAD, be sure to follow the TRANSFER sign that leads you to the lower-level Immigration/Customs/TSA security in the C Concourse. Do NOT follow the ARRIVAL sign.
