From a mileage/2005 status perspective it is great, as the return is routing me BRU-JFK-MIA-BDL, but the catch is a 1 hour 20 minute connection at JFK.

I did a search of AA.com and found that the 9:55 a.m. departure from LHR is scheduled to arrive at JFK 5 minutes before my BRU flight, which could mean a longer wait than I've ever experienced at JFK Immigration.

Adding to the concern is that the next JFK-MIA flight is at 6:20 p.m. and arrives after my flight to BDL has left.

What do you think, is this connection pushing it too much?

Thanks!

I'm not an expert in these things but I do know sometimes AA.com gives (and will even ticket) connections that will later be deemed to be illegal. You might want to call and ask AA. And, of course, no matter what they tell you, be prepared for the slight possibility that you'll have to wait around to 6:20pm.
