This seems like an awfully tight connection, although it must be a legal one. If I don't make it, will AC protect me on the next flight to SFO? Tried to research this, but couldn't find anything definitive. Thanks!
I have done this several times. Just follow the signs and it will wind you around to US Customs. Will have to "enter" the US by going through another security screen but usually never an issue. Enjoy your trip.
