Extremely short layover in Chicago
I am flying home from my study abroad program in nine days. I am getting really worried because I just noticed that the flight my Dad scheduled for me only has a 1 hour and 15 minute layover between my flight in from Dublin that lands in Terminal 5 to my connecting flight to Detroit in Terminal 3. I emailed Aer Lingus and they said that if I booked on the same itinerary my luggage would be checked through, but I have been seeing some posts that make me think that isn't so. Do you think I have enough time to make my flight?

Having cleared USCBP, passengers arriving in the US are treated as domestic arrivals, which allows for a faster processing through their arrival airport in the United States including the checking through of any baggage to the travellers final destination.
