Any thoughts on if this will be sufficient to collect baggage and recheck baggage with AS (going from T4/T5 to T6). We are precheck as well.
1:20 is more than ample time. The walk from T4/T5 to T6 is short, check-in is just inside the door & Security adjacent. With precheck, I am always through in under 5 minutes. If baggage from AA is out in a reasonable time you may even have time to visit the Alaska Lounge. You will have access on your AS paid F flight.
