I will have a checked bag and I will be travelling in CW (using AA miles) on the A380. I am a US citizen and the flights will be on a Wednesday..

Thanks.
It's possible, but pretty risky - not much leeway at all for hold-ups. Non-EU passport and checked bags certainly don't help, although CW at least gets you fast track immigration.

Will it be two separate tickets? What's your plan B if you miss the onward flight?

There's a comprehensive guide here to your transport options: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...ial-guide.html
