West Coast US - getting there . . .
Discussion
We're thinking of a holiday on the west coast of America next year and probably do a similar sort of trip we did last time we were there (pre kids!). Can anyone recommend a decent flight from the north to say San Francisco? In an ideal world, I'd like to go through immigration on this side of the pond as it was horrendous last time we flow into Washington (at the same time as 3-4 other flights) and don't mind connections as we could always add a couple of day stopover on the way out.
Well last time we went to the States (Orlando Int via Washington Dulles, from Manchester), I thought we'd have enough time to get the connection (about 2 hours). Immigration took an age, followed by bag collection and drop-off and then security took another age. The gate was officially closed by the time we got there, but they had held the flight for us and another family. Hence why I'm keen to get it over with on this side, if possible.
