It was beyond a joke and the worst experience we have had flying to USA in nearly 30 years.
we also flew into Tampa in October and found the immigration a night mare only our plane in,after collecting our bags which you could see going around and around the carousel,but after that it was a breeze,also on the return,they were building a new Duty free store much cheaper than Gatwick,added bonus there's a smokers area at the gate
