Apologies if I missed it. Here's my query. Arriving LAX on CX at 10:45AM. Onward ticket to either MCO or TPA is separate and has not been purchased yet. There are 2 AA flight options: LAX-DFW-MCO departs at 1:33PM (so transit is 2hrs and 48min) or the LAX-MIA-TPA departs 1:55 (transit of 3hrs 10min). Assuming that CX arrives on time, would a 2hr 48min transit be enough or would a safe bet to take the 3hr 10min one? I am AA PP and would ask the CX staff in MNL to through check my bags. I also have GE. I was told that the international baggage claim at TBIT is slow, so it becomes the bottleneck in terms of reclaiming bags. Would appreciate your insight which flight is safe to take. Thank you.
