The crew is ****ed and the pax are more ****ed. Can't the "world's largest airline" cut a better deal regarding customs? One would think so. Its embarrassing.
Is this for real? LAX used to have a nice enough customs facility under terminal 5. It handled our Frankfurt, Tokyo, and Mexico flights with two baggage carousels. It let out under the escalator on the lower level of 5. Last time I went through there was around 2000 (727 days), however.
The only time we had to go to Bradley terminal was when we got in real late from Mexico due to a mechanical. I think our customs shut down at 10pm.
