MCT is I think 1.5 I-D, personally with all included with your statement would not do anything less than 2 hours. Also depends where you’re coming from, but if any delay happens that puts you under that amount as long as you aren’t on the last flight to ORD, should be able to catch a later flight.

Depending on what time of day you get in (higher staffing in customs etc during normal business hours) and how many other tourists are on your flight (vs citizens) time spent going through customs can vary a lot. I’ve never NOT waited in line though, so definitely have some buffer. I agree that 2 hours is probably enough.

IdR two-three hours should be good

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land. I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?
