    Flying from Dublin, US Clearance query

    Hi all

    I'm pricing flights for Orlando September 2016 and seeing flights out of Dublin to Gatwick then direct to Orlando with British Airways.

    What I am wanting to know is does anyone know if we will clear US Customs in Dublin airport or will they not allow us since we are routing through England?

    P.s. the flights are gathered through Sky Scanner - £349pp

    Thanks

    No, you can only "clear" formalities on flights leaving Dublin and heading direct to USA. You'll do it all in Orlando I'm aftraid....sorry

    Thanks. That is what I thought (feared)

    I've flew from Dublin a few times in the past but this is the first time flights via England are coming up cheaper for me.

    I don't know your precise dates but you can get very close to that price most of September on American Airlines going Dublin-Charlotte-Orlando arriving in MCO a few minutes after 4 p.m. and those DO qualify for pre-clearance.

    Done a search there myself and seeing them for £382 however the layover time in CLT on return leg is 8 hours.
