I know that's not a lot of time, but is it possible? Thanks
The "legal" connecting time for Intl to domestic connections at ORD is 1:15. (Thanks to
Andrzej for keeping me honest!)
The issue is how long it will take to take the Tram from T5 (Intl) to T3 (AA) and reclear security. I've heard of it done in an hour or so, but if you are delayed in customs or waiting for the tram you'll miss the 4:19 flight.
