Thanks again for your advice. I'll have my GRU BP and have no problem moving quickly - so I hope to make it work out.
If I am reading you right, you arrive from DFW on AA and then go onto GRU on Avianca with a short meeting at GOES between. Not sure if AA can check your bag through to Avianca (others may know), hopefully AA can. If not, you will need to go downstairs to claim your bag. My suggestion is to first go to your GOES meeting, then quickly get your bag, and return to Concourse J. With a checked bag now, you will need to haul butt. Baggage claim at AA can be slow so while maybe your bag would be up the time you walk from the gate to baggage claim, if not, you will lose precious minutes.
