It could be tight.....

It could be tight but doable. The 2 biggest variables are wait for immigration and baggage wait. For the former, a lot depends on how fast you get off the a/c and what flights have arrived just before yours). Could spend anywhere from nothing to 40+ minutes for this. Baggage often takes time to come out here. Hope you're not picked for a customs inspection which can be a lengthy wait. Depending on which airline you are connecting to, you either recheck your bags after leaving customs hall (applies to AC only) and then proceed to security for your next flight, or go line up to check in for your connecting flight (all other carriers) and then go through security.

You should have adequate time, not necessarily with a comfortable margin, if there are no hold ups.

Where will you be arriving from and connecting to?
