August 17, 20232 yr Asking for a Brit friend visiting Austin this fall. Mrs. Brat & I have not traveled by air from a foreign country since 2018, so don’t have a clue these days.
August 17, 20232 yr A bit of outdated data, but I last did that in May of 2019, and recall it took about 45 minutes.
August 17, 20232 yr It depends on how many international flights are arriving around the same time. My return from Cabo had 3 flights waiting at the single baggage carousel. That took over an hour. If there aren't any other international flights arriving, it shouldn't take much longer than a domestic flight.
August 17, 20232 yr The most recent time I flew internationally, it literally took a few minutes. I was the first to get my luggage and there was no wait at customs. Austin used facial recognition software to move me through. So, it sounds like it can be highly variable depending on the time of arrival and the speed that they get the luggage onto the carousel.

August 17, 20232 yr If you only have carry on bags it will be really quick. We have done it a couple times recently and there was little to no wait.
August 18, 20232 yr We returned from Cabo in June and our daughter returned from Europe in July. Both times took less than 15 minutes.
