I have Global Entry and precheck, so the domestic leg should have pre-check. Two separate PNRs (int'l leg is an award, domestic is paid). One checked bag, but it should be priority tagged. It's going to be the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend.
How worried should I be?
I would call AA and get your PNR's connected or you will not be protected if you are delayed in ICE. MCE Int'l to Dom is 2 1/2 hours and depending on your arrival time, you may get caught behind many other flights. GE lines have gotten way longer as MIA has failed to adapt more agents to it and less to regular lines. They have not increased the number of agents working any shift due to budget constraints and the need to also cover the Port of Miami out of the same office.
