As a platinum, how likely is it that AA will put me on the earlier flights gratis. They will do it at the airport in TGU, not before? Is there a chance they will confirm me on the earlier MIA-DCA flight at TGU airport desk or will I have to wait until I get to MIA to see if they will put me on that flight?
And the real question----Can I make a connection if I arrive internationally into MIA at 444pm and want to get on a plane to DCA at 550pm?
Will you have checked luggage that you have to claim and recheck, then go back through security yourself? I don't think you'll make it.
If no checked baggage, download the "Mobile Passport" app for your phone.....it makes the whole process a lot faster.......unless you are entering customs at LAX, where the entire passport verification system regularly gets overloaded and goes down or literally crawls.
