Connecting in DUB
I have a connection coming up in DUB and I'm starting to worry I haven't left enough time. I'm going BA LCY>DUB, arriving 8.10, and then leaving on AA to PHL at 9.55. Assuming I can get my bag checked through at LCY it should be fine, but if I have to collect and recheck I'm worried this is too short.
Anyone have any experience of checking through bags on different tickets since the rules changed? Has anyone done a similar connection at DUB? Thanks!

If you didn't have US preclearance to go through this wouldn't be too bad but with that I think your changes are slim to none.

The check-in cutoff for AA at DUB is 75 minutes, or 08:40 for a 09:55 departure. This allows for immigration. This would allow 30 minutes to claim bags, change terminals, and check in, which is risky.

The time looks too short, especially departing from LCY with risks of delays due to weather/fog.
Also note AA operates from T2 and BA from T1 at DUB.
