PHL Transfer from F to A on American Airlines

I am flying into PHL from Toronto and will clear US customs in Canada. I understand there is a shuttle from F to A but I am worried about wait times and frequency. The flight is schedule to arrive in F at 5:05pm and the departing flight in A is at 6:50pm. So I have an hour and 45 layover. I am considering walking but wondering what you would suggest. Thank you

Yes, take the shuttle. They go about every 10-15 minutes; it would take substantially longer to walk from an F gate to an A gate. You will have no problems whatsoever with a 105-minute connection.

Take the Shuttle but get off @C. You'll have plenty of time and the main shops/eateries are between B/C. It's a ten minute walk from there to A/A West.
