AA rebook flight if missing? (OW connection, separate tickets)
Hi,
I just bought a ticket from SCL to LAX but my final destination is SFO, so i need to buy another ticket LAX-SFO on AA, my question is: if i miss the LAX-SFO flight because my first leg was delayed, AA will charge extra for rebooking a new ticket? my first leg is on a OW airline, there's some protection between OW flights?
I had the same issue a few months ago, first leg with a OW airline, and second with Virgin and i missed that last flight, but Virgin put me on the next one without any extra charge, they needed my first leg ticket to know that i really miss my flight because a delay.
Thanks,

Since the SCL-LAX ticket has already been purchased, probably not a viable option to pursue.

But, as already noted, who cares? AA contractually guarantees a rebook across tickets, so it doesn't matter.

According to the Wiki page, MCT for AA Intl to Domestic is 1:30. I should arrived in LAX around 7:10AM (and i'll be one of the first of getting off the plane), and the flight i want to take leaves LA at 9AM, that meet the MCT right? or should i count from arrival to presentation in the airport time?
Thanks!
Thanks!

two weeks ago i had JFK-LHR then on another ticket LHR-GVA.
first flt delayed three hours but when i landed in LHR i saw they booked me on every flt following my first missed flight until we actually arrived. i was surprised--but also when i checked in at JFK i ensured i was checked in for the other ticket as well (because i had bags to check). not certain if that matters, but i'd imagine they would need to know when you check in to check you in for the other flt too.
