I don't know about customs in the US, though. -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sawyer Nicknames - http://sawyer.xtreemhost.com/ Seinfeld Lists - http://seinfeld.xtreemhost.com/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ |

How much time between flights

to an Alaskan air flight to Vancouver... No such airline. Perhaps you mean Alaska Airways. Will I have to go through customs in LA. Maybe there, but if the flight stops in say Honolulu, you might get off and clear customs there; I've had it done that way. Ask the airline. And next time do it *before* booking your connecting flight. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "Any story that needs a critic to explain it, | needs rewriting." -- Larry Niven |

If you don't have the answer, which it's clear you don't, then there's no need to pester the OP with your misplaced superiority complex. |

Will I have to go through customs in LA. and is the 2 1/2 hours enough time Short answer yes. After you land you have to claim your luggage and go through customs and immigration. Then you proceed to Alaska Air Lines counter to check in. They will take your luggage there. You then proceed to security clearance and then to the boarding area. When you arrive in Vancouver you will again go through customs and immigration. When I came home I went through San Francisco and had lots of time. I took the same trip just over a year ago. You should have sufficient time in LA as well, especially when planes never seem to leave on time these days. No problem and welcome to Vancouver, glad to have you visit. -- Martha Canada . Normally the baggage is checked through to the final destination. You collect your baggage and Customs and Immigration and and leaving C&I you place your bags on a conveyor back in to the system.. You do not need to go to Alaska to check the baggage. That is if the baggage is checked to Vancouver. I am just saying the way it was handled when I came back from Australia last year. The Qantas attendant told me that is was a requirement of US customs that the passengers claim their luggage and take it to Alaska Air Lines. I would have loved if it could have been checked through because I was in a wheelchair. The reason it was handled this way was because we changed airlines. If I had flown Air Canada through Hawaii, it would have been handled the way you said because we neither changed planes or airlines. That is the explanation given to me by Qantas. Incidentally, my baggage was checked through to Vancouver. -- Martha Canada .. |

How much time between flights
Is it a direct flight?? I did the same thing recently had a 2 1/2 hours
stop over in LA after flying Qantas from Aus to LA via Auckland. Plane was delayed leaving Melb and Auckland and I missed all my LA connecting flights. Best advice is fly to Alaska the following day, it saves a lot of stress if plane delayed. Enjoy a night at LAX probably $100AUD then travel following day at le PS: I think Qantas would recommend at least 3 hour between flights suire. "Spurwing" wrote in message ...
