A word of advice: book a flight going from Philippines to LAX so you arrive in LAX just after lunch during the weekday. Immigration lines are a breeze, like 15 to 30mins waiting only. I flew in using Eva Air coz they refund your plane ticket or can change your itinerary without any charge, you just pay the difference for certain webfares and purchased it online for $599 when I flew in last March. Their flights are also early compared to other airlines. I arrived 45 mins before my scheduled arrival (ETA time was 1245pm and arrived 1150am, got out of immigration at 1225pm). Good thing hubby new about this as he checked the online status of the airline flight and Eva Air is consistent with arriving 15 to 45 mins early.

Those are my two cents. Hope that helps anyone..
