    I find the pre-clearance a huge bonus, first time I flew to DC was waiting over an hour to get through, second time with pre-clearance I walked straight to the bag carousel. Flying into JFK from Panama last year also took over an hour as we seemed to arrive in at lunch-time when a lot of the desks were un-manned.

    Last 3 times I've arrived in US without preclearance I've walked straight up to the counter at immigration. Its really down to luck.

    There's a tool on the CBP site which allows you to check approximate wait times at any given port of entry.

    Precisely. I've queued for hours in Lax and Atlanta when travelling from Europe.

    Atlanta is a nightmare.
