land at JFK from MIA at 18:30 and flight to LHR is 20:00
As far as I was aware MCT at JFK on AA domestic to International is 75minutes
I have 90.
The question really is, is the connection achievable with checked bags in JFK!
Not sure why you are in a huff at someone trying to help you. I misread...'
Currently land at 18:30 from MIA and due to take off at 20:00. Is this achievable?' as being the connection in NAS-MIA is 90 minutes. Sorry to make you so upset.
As for your JFK connection, is it achievable? Yes. Is it likely? YMMV, but I would say no. You need everything to go perfectly.
Think of it this way... You will need to deplane, get to baggage claim and check in, all in less than 30 minutes. (AA has a 60-minute check-in/bag drop time for all international flights.) Check in will be no problem as you can do it online. But, 30 minutes to taxi, deplane, get to baggage claim, take your bag up to the counter, wait in line, seems very tight.
And all that assumes no delays. A landing delay of 5-10 minutes + taxi delay of 5-10 minutes and you are probably not going to make the 60-minute baggage cut off upstairs.
----------------------
Of the last 11 flights...
6 landed 6:33 or early
5 landed 6:54 or later
So you would have missed the baggage cutoff at least 50% of the time. (And at least 2 of 11 you would have missed your connection, even with carry on only.
