what is the I2D MCT in sfo for aa
sorry i have to open a thread about this


i was confused and challenged recently when rescheduling an aa award ticket with same day connection in sfo

flight is cz659 to aa 276

it was good in FEB in terms of MCT requirement when booking

based on my understanding from IATA and OAG, MCT for I2D in sfo is 105min


now aa told me MCT is 180min, so i have to spend a night in sfo on my own dime.

can anyone tell me what is the MCT from source such as expertflyer or any gds query？

thanks

Lots of delays in SFO lately due to the runway work.

The others are GLSUP, which means Globally Suppressed, or not a valid connection at all (according to my understanding)

I only searched CZ to AA. For example, MU to everybody is 3:00, PR to AA is 3:00. Airlines set their connection times and often have lower connection times for alliance partners. AA may have found that certain airlines have been unable to transfer bags and passengers promptly and AA has set a longer connection for those carriers. Possibly some of that is due to the issues SFO has been having some could be due to other issues.

You actually found an AA award on CZ? Is this in J? That would certainly be interesting. I've looked occasionally and have never found a seat.

Wuhan to San Francisco is not among their most coveted routes.
