The Wiki says Intl->Domestic requires 2-3 hours. What about the reverse? My wife wants to take the 7:20-9:00 PHX-LAX route, to connect on a separate PNR on 13:30 JAL departure. We will have to collect luggage (thanks for not interlining, AA) and re-clear security.
I know 4 hours is more than enough on a normal on time flight, but if there is a hiccup or something AA would either have us delay, or put us on the 10:05-11:44 which wouldn't be enough.
Since it's a separate PNR I am trying to convince my wife to fly or drive the night before and I need some ammunition from expert LAX travelers.
