We had expressed the tight connection flight schedule to the officer but still, we had to wait and wait and wait...
There were around 10 officers in the room but most of them were gathered together for some discussions. As a result, only one counter was opened to call the visitors and to give them the passports.
After waiting for 30 minutes, we had expressed the urgency again but no other support was provided. We had to wait for another 15 minutes before our names were being called. The officer just passed the passports to us without any note.
The 2nd step : Got the luggage
After the immigration, we still had 10 minutes left before the boarding time. We ran to the baggage claim area and immediately found our luggage sitting next to the airport conveyor belt.
We grabbed the luggage and ran again to the customs and the heart breaking long queue was in front of us! People are queuing up for the inspection by the custom officers.
It took us another 15 minutes to get through the custom counter.
After passing the customs counter, we had identified the baggage rechecked area right away. It was already 5 minutes passed the boarding time. We had no choice but sent the baggage as planned and then ran to the boarding gate ...
Before entering into the boarding area, we needed to pass through the security check counter. And in front counter, there was a long queue again! We had spent another 20 minutes to get through.
We all knew that we might not catch the plane at that time but we tried our best to arrive the gate in the shortest time. Since the gate was far away that we needed to take a skyline train, finally, we had missed the flight and needed to spent another 2 hours waiting for another plane :-(
Well, at least we could relax and got some food.
After another 2.5 hours flight, we had arrived Orlando airport.
We rented the car and drove to the hotel.
The hotel was comfortable and we could finally have a better sleep after the long day...
The 3rd step : Went through the customs
We grabbed the luggage and ran again to the customs and the heart breaking long queue was in front of us! People are queuing up for the inspection by the custom officers.

The 4th step : Rechecked the baggage to Orlando flight
After passing the customs counter, we had identified the baggage rechecked area right away. It was already 5 minutes passed the boarding time. We had no choice but sent the baggage as planned and then ran to the boarding gate ...
The 5th step : Went through the security
Before entering into the boarding area, we needed to pass through the security check counter. And in front counter, there was a long queue again! We had spent another 20 minutes to get through.
The 6th step : Went to the gate and get onto the Orlando flight.
We all knew that we might not catch the plane at that time but we tried our best to arrive the gate in the shortest time. Since the gate was far away that we needed to take a skyline train, finally, we had missed the flight and needed to spent another 2 hours waiting for another plane :-(
