2) That said, at SEA, I would not book a 47 minute connection. AA's domestic flights leave out of the D concourse. However, a widebody plane won't fit at the D gates. So, AA will likely be using the A concourse or the S concourse for the BLR flight. To get from D to A or S requires at least one (A) or two (S) train rides as well as navigating a few escalators and/or moving sidewalks. I would feel more comfortable with 2 hours quite frankly.
This is accurate I think also as an SEA flyer, no way you are getting off a narrowbody AA flight and going to an adjoining gate as the widebodies don't fit at the main terminal building. Also AA has pushed back that flight launch several times already, so I would be planning alternate ways to get to BLR assuming they continue to push back that route as travel continues to recover slowly.
