flights

[Sparkygal]

Ok I am self confessed worrier. So need to clarify things in my mind!

We have booked flights to Orlando in October with 2 stops. We connect at Heathrow then at Miami before arriving in Orlando. Great I thought.

We have 2 hours in between flights (there and then the same on return journey). Now I am being told 2 hours might not be long enough to clear immigration at Miami and get to our next flight.
Really? So what happens then? I am in a bit of a panic mode!

Also what happens with baggage? Do we collect it a Heathrow and then at Miami and check it in again?

Thanks

I wouldn't worry too much, as long as there's a later flight. I might just double check with your booking agent that they do count as one 'flight' and therefore the airline is duty bound to put you on the next flight.

It will be very tight at Miami, but it is possible. It's much quicker at Miami than it used to be, as they've introduced automatic machines to help with immigration. We flew in with AA on the day before Good Friday, it took one hour from landing, to getting in our taxi from the airport. It was surprisingly speedy! The two hour connection just doesn't allow for any problems, delays etc.
