Should MCO update this on their website about international passengers?

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

On the Orlando International Airport website in the arrivals page it has a split screen for domestic passengers and international passengers. Now for the international passengers it mentions about them having to clear US Customs and etc, plus I realize that's how it's done for passengers arriving from the UK and other parts of Europe. However since international passengers arriving from major Canadian cities like Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax and Winnipeg will clear pre - clear US Customs at their Canadian Airports of departure their flights be treated like any domestic flight once landing, so should they have put a sentence mentioning that?

No, that would be silly.

I suspect most passengers who clear customs in Canada understand they won't be clearning customs again in MCO. Those few passengers who don't understand will wind up following the rest of the passengers. At some point they will realize they aren't going through customs.

Why not send them an email suggesting that?

That actually sounds like a good idea and something I never thought of doing, so thanks for the suggestion.

Remember, though, that there are about 190 countries in the world. The international traveler information applies to about 185 or so of those. It even applies, apparently, to Canadians traveling from smaller cities - the ones where they don't clear Customs in Canada.

The reasonable, or reasonably informed, Canadian traveler who departs from a city where they clear Customs before leaving the country knows that, and so can (again) reasonably be expected to know they don't need to do so again IN the United States.

Further, flying from Canada does not guarantee pre-clearance (as you stated) AND flying in from somewhere other than Canada does not guarantee that you don't do pre-clearance (Shannon, Ireland; Aruba; Bermuda; and The Bahamas also do pre-clearance - though I don't know how many flights there are from any of these places to MCO. Dublin, Ireland either has pre-clearance or soon will).

Ireland

The U.S. and Ireland entered into a preinspection arrangement in 1986.[4] In Dublin Airport, only immigration checks are performed, with customs and agriculture inspections still done on arrival in the U.S. — therefore passengers from Dublin must still land at international terminals. Full preclearance services are available at Shannon Airport, although not to Aer Lingus passengers, as the airline has opted out of using the facilities until Terminal 2 is open in Dublin. This will be followed by preclearance facilities at Dublin Airport that will be available when terminal 2, which is currently under construction, opens in 2010. Both airports will have full CBP facilities, which will allow passengers arriving in the U.S. to leave airports upon landing without further inspection.

Not sure why you posted that link, as I don't see that it adds any information.

What's your point?

I thought you weren't 100% sure about your previous response, so just incase my mistake.

Your post didn't clear anything up though. It states that full pre-clearance in Dublin opens in 2010 - it doesn't give the month. Hence, it either recently started or will soon start.
