Connecting flights on international travel. What should I expect?

score:6

Entering the USA in SFO, you will go through passport control, then collect your bags and go through customs. If the bags were checked through to LAX, you will next drop your bags at the next station and then exit the secured area, go back through TSA security and go to your next gate. If the bags were not checked through, I believe you will need to carry the bags out to the next airline's ticket counter to re-check the bags before going through security.

Unlike many other countries, in the USA, you will always go through customs at your first airport of entry, unless there is an arrangement to go through US customs before the foreign departure. As far as I know, this is only done in Canada.

On the return flight, assuming your bags are checked through to TLV, you'll check them in LAX and not handle them again until your destination.
