Is it better to get pre checked at Abu Dhabi than JFK? Any TSA experiences (good or bad) at Abu Dhabi

Rules are same regardless. If you have docs in order you will be fine

Wait time?

Depends ... if you were with Sheela or Tina? I’d get checked monthly regardless of location...

Done that at least 4 times in the last 2 years and have never had any issues! Very smooth. I’ve always had only 1-2 hours of layover and never really had much of a line waiting for immigration / customs / border control

If you have a layover at AUH, might as well get it done there. Also, I don’t think we had a choice on this matter. If you are transferring at AUH, you have to go through it.
Something to note- unrelated to Immigration procedures- If your bags don’t arrive before you go though the security check at AUH, you might have till they are cleared. I have waited for 20 mins in the past.

Thanks for feedback !!
