I'm contemplating booking a flight from Bergen, Norway via Dublin to Chicago. I understand that there's a US preclearance/customs facility in the Dublin airport for US bound flights. The inbound flights from Norway typically arrive at the 200 gates in Terminal 1 and as I understand it the US bound flights depart Terminal 2. Does anyone have any recent experience transiting from an intra-Europe flight to a US bound flight? The flight is being sold by United and there's a 2:20 connection time -is that transit time realistic? If it makes any difference, I have Global Entry. If you check a bag, do you pick it up before entering the customs facility? When the aircraft arrives in ORD (its a United flight), I assume that you just deplane in the B or C gates as if you took a domestic flight? I'm an experienced traveler, but this is a new one on me - I'd love any insight that you can provide!
