In Philadelphia, you will need to go through immigration, collect your checked bags, go through customs, hand your bags back, then go through security. If you have your ESTAs then you are fine.

Yes, you'll need to do immigration and customs in Philly. Bit of a nuisance when you're flying home from your hols.

not too bad i suppose. i might not be getting any hols.... not gonna complain ;-)

I transited in Philly this time last year and there was a very long walk between the terminals. Didn't have to do security again but we arrived on an internal flight so had already been screened by TSA at O'Hare.

We are flying into Terminal A and flying from same so hoping it will be ok time wise, Landing at 17:15 and depart at 21:05
