Haven’t read through entire thread so in answer to OP it took us probably about an hour and a bit between finally getting of the plane (there was a thunderstorm so had to wait) to getting to baggage carousel. That was Friday Glasgow virgin flight.

We were the 2nd and 3rd passengers to enter the hall for last September - then proceeded to wait over an hour for our bags! We’ve done everything from 20min to in excess of 2 hours.

That about sums US immigration up in a nutshell (at most US airports). Maybe that post should be made a sticky by the moderators!
The only way to make US immigration bearable / enjoyable is to obtain Global Entry - even US Citizens are doing this too as it's way faster than even the US Citizens line. That said, I do have Global Entry and on one of my last arrivals at Orlando we were held on the aircraft for 45mins on arrival due to congestion in immigration. Once off the plane I was through in about 2mins. |

All depends...on my 9th visit in February the time it took to get off the plane... go through immigration (which only took 20 minutes)...collect luggage and get to my hotel on I-Drive via shuttle transfer was just under 2 hours which was the fastest time ever for me.

I'm hoping February is quiet next year. Getting out quickly is a nice bonus

The electronic kiosks were a waste of time and money, hence they have gone.
People ask about wait times but you can't predict or judge. Flights never land exactly on time some times they cluster together, other days they spread out, officers might pick up a case and be tied up, general staffing issues. |

We got good use out of the kiosks one year... they did make it faster. The next visit we had a first time visitor that was 2 yr old...and the kiosks were useless as they didn't go down far enough.

We were through immigration, had our luggage and on the monorail in 35 minutes on 30th June. That was arriving on the Glasgow Virgin flight.
