Connecting at LAX
Anybody have experience connecting from American Eagle to AS at LAX? Is 1:20 a sufficient connection time to get from the American Eagle satellite terminal to T3?
I need a early evening LAS-ANC flight next spring and a connection through LAX is the only one that fits the bill.
Thanks!

You should be fine. You will take a shuttle bus from the AA eagle terminal. Just make sure that you inquire with the staff at the bus stop pick-up area and get on the right bus (there is one for each terminal and they are not marked). I think the most I have ever waited for a bus was 15 minutes and the drive is only five or ten minutes to the terminal.

This probably won't apply in your situation, but be aware that if you have bags checked and try to go standby, they won't let you, because AA does not bring the bags over until 45 minutes prior to the flight according to AS reps (and I asked many). I really hate the codeshare arrangement through LAX but often there is no way around it. The shuttle works fine though, definitely better than having to leave security.
