I think 2 hrs would be good enough. There usually isnt a lot of people at 4:30 am on sunday mornings.
2 :
1 1/2 to 2 hours should be fine if it were later in the day maybe a little earlier but 6:30 is pretty much when nobody is flying.
3 :
The recommended for international flight is 3 hours. Have a good trip.
4 :
Airlines state 2 hours prior for international flights.
5 :
Technically your flight to Houston is a domestic flight, only from Houston to Madrid is your flight considered an international flight. Most airlines do ask you to arrive at least two hours before a domestic flight. For a flight that leaves at 6:30 AM you could probably arrive a little later than two hours before the flight without a problem. Even LAX won't be crowded at 4:30 AM, better early than late though.
6 :
you should arrive 2 hours beforehand to allow for check-in, customs, security etc and any "hold-ups" if the occur!

Well, you could inform the flight attendant and perhaps the gentleman could be gently nudged. But other than that, I don't think you could or even should do much about it. Just slap on a pair of earphones and block everything else out.
2 :
No! that's why you can use the headphones and listen to music or movie... tune it out! they have a right to sleep, probably doesn´t even know they snore poor things. I snore, i wake myself up, and i'm a woman!!! so use the headphones sweetie...
3 :
The person has the right to sleep. Why don't you just listen to some music, or watch the movie? You would not like for some one to wake you up from your nap. And No the pilot nor the flight attendants should not wake the person up.
4 :
Headphones would have helped. The sleeping person had a right to take a nap, and folks can't control when they snore - my husband travels constantly for his job, and even though you were on a short flight, the snorer may have been on the last leg of a very long trip.
5 :
Wow, guess you should add no infants, or obnoxious children or the person sitting next to you that wants to share their whole life story... You pay for a flight with more than one person, what you really need to do is learn some coping skills. If you don't want to hear someone snore bring some headphones and get over yourself!

What happens if I miss a flight connection cuz the immigration controls are slow

What happens if I miss a flight connection cuz the immigration controls are slow?
Hello, I'll fly from Rome to Houston with a stop in Detroit (1h53min). I heard in Detroit I have to take my luggage go to immigration and then check in... I think the time isn't enough even the flight won't be delayed, cuz the controls take a long time very often. I'm flying with KLM/Northwest. If I miss the flight from Detroit to Houston what happens? They put me on the next plane? For free? Thx

They probably will. And nearly two hours should be plenty of enough time to get through US customs and immigration.

Yes, its just like a laptop. You have to turn it off for take off and landing. The reason being the electromagnetic frequencies or something like that interfere with the plane equipment .
