My work has just booked be on a trip to Mexico on Delta with a 6 hour layover in terminal 5. Both flights go from the same terminal.
Firstly, is there such thing as transiting though in the US? Would I be going through customs or not?
Secondly assuming I have to go through customs and check in again, can I drop my baggage and head off to a local mall to do some shopping? Is there anywhere of a decent size within s 10 minute cab ride? I often buy clothes from old navy, Macy's etc, when i'm in the US so is there a mall big enough to have those stores near the airport ?
I figure I will take an hour to clear customs, 3 hours shopping and be back with 2 hours to spare. Sound reasonable?
Thanks.
