Hi everyone,
This is my first post here so be kind.
My partner and I are venturing to the USA for our Honeymoon in October and this will be the first overseas trip for both of us. We are flying from Brisbane -> LAX -> JFK -> Vegas -> LAX -> Brisbane.
The Travel Agent has booked us on an American Eagle (for American Airline for Qantas) to fly from McCarran Intl Airport, Las Vegas to LAX. This flight departs 8:11pm and arrives 9:23pm at (According to my booking on the qantas FF website) terminal 4. We are then scheduled to fly Qantas from LAX to Bris at 11:20pm from Terminal B (once again according to the Qantas FF site).
My belated question is as follows: Assuming all planes are on time, that leaves us 2 hours at LAX before we fly home. The Travel Agent assures me that we will go through customs in Las Vegas and thus will transit through LAX and not have to go through customs.
I readily admit that I have no first hand knowledge with this, but in an Australian context, if I was flying from Canberra to LAX, I would have to catch a domestic flight to Sydney Domestic Terminal, then head over to the International Terminal, go through customs and then finally head on out to LAX.
Basically I am concerned that the travel agent has not got this right and that we will have to go through customs and swap terminals. If that is the case, then the 1hr 57 between flights isn't going to be enough time to do this and we will miss our flight home.
Does have anyone have any first hand experience/knowledge about this? Should I be concerned or am I panicing over nothing?
