I am heading down to Cordoba Argentina via Santiago on AA and LAN next month.

As of now I am flying into Santiago on the 3rd in AA Economy and then Santiago to Cordoba on the 4th on LAN. If I am willing to leave the the 4th from the US I can fly AA in business class but the catch is I would only have about an hour and ten minute layover in SCL before my next flight to Cordoba.

My question is this, since AA and LAN are codeshare partners will we be able to check out bags through to Cordoba even though the tickets are on two separate reservations? Will an hour be long enough to make the connection? I assume we won't have to go through customs, is that correct?

Thanks for all the help.

Derek
1:10 is plenty of time for an int'l/int'l connection @ SCL - just a quick transit security procedure. As far as interline baggage, you'll have to ask AA. Historically, never an issue, but with all the new rules in place, I have no idea.
