Interesting.. you can go through US customs in Toronto. I should land "domestic" in SFO and hopefully shave some time off of falling into bed at after midnight.
@RichiH Yeah there's preclearance available in Montreal as well. The list is short, but IIRC they're slowly rolling out to more major foreign airports.
@azonenberg I've paid for, and not seen movement on since, two years ago so I'll take whatever I can get. The amount of time wasted standing in line for a quick "oh, you" while they scroll through my past itineraries is deeply frustrating.
@RichiH Just to clarify, when I say "preclearance" I mean clearing customs at the departure airport via overseas-deployed CBP agents, rather than at the arrival airport.
This is unrelated to whether you get expedited clearance (e.g. Global Entry) at the customs checkpoint or not.
My point was that preclearance is even better for me than for e.g. you as I have nothing, not even global entry because... They just took the money and are sitting on endless backlog.
