CPH to BOS Customs and hotel info

[vols52]

We will be flying from Copenhagen to Boston after a transatlantic cruise. Our flight arrives with a 1:45 hour connection to our home flight to FL. Is this enough time to clear customs and make a connection? If not, what airport hotel would you steer us toward for the one night. Thank you,

If you are on time, that will be enough time.

You might want to ask this on the Cruise Air board....that sounds a little close to me.....

What exact date and day oqd the week would you be doing this and what airline would you be flying to Florida? International Flights arrive at terminal E so you have to get around the airport to terminal A, B, or C. This could be time consuming on the free shuttle bus, so you need to have a clear idea of where you are going and perhaps a plan B to grab a cab.

 

I'd like to hear some experiences of folks who go through customs regularly. I don't do this often and have breezed through and have also gotten stuck in an enormous line of folks all with US passports. Are you US citizens?

We have not decided which airline back to FL . The airline depends on the departure time relevant to our exit from customs, but will probably be Delta or Jet Blue.

Could you give the exact date in May? That is graduation time in Boston and hotels are busy. Delta flies out of terminal A and Jet Blue from terminal C.

[Nitemare]

Southwest flies out of Terminal E, so would be the easiest connection. Terminal C (JetBlue) would be next easiest (a nice walk, if you're not carrying tons of luggage, or you can use a cart), and Delta in A would be most difficult of these.

I am confused..:confused::confused:.

 

EDIT: i reread your post...you need at least 2 hours, preferably longer (IMO) to comfortably accomplish Customs/Immigration, rechecking your bags ...going BACK through security....and getting on your home flight...

 

 

if you use jetBlue or southwest..they do not ( i don't think) have interline agreements so you will need to go to check in, drop your bags with them and go back through security...you will not just be able to clear immigration, claim bags, clear customs and then recheck your bags...

 

less than 2 hours to accomplish all that?? not gonna happen IMO
