Coming back, I checked back into the USA in Dublin, which almost made me miss my flight (they had to find me and move me to the front of a very long line), but once I got to JFK, it was like I was changing planes on domestic flights. sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-47704491371316437132017-07-13T02:45:25.444-04:002017-07-13T02:45:25.444-04:00My wife and daughter had to deal with some flight ...My wife and daughter had to deal with some flight delays on the first leg of their trip to Britain.

Meaning going from here to the US you are cleared here in Dublin and are in the USA. So I'd assumed once you boarded the plane in the US you didn't have to do much. And so the flight out of Dublin to the UK was treated as the first external flight you took. But I truly don't know from your side how it works, for usually entry to Ireland is de facto entry to the UK since we are a common travel area, and V-V. While entry to Schengen allows passage over 26 States on the Mainland.
