Booking multiple-destination AAdvantage ticket with 45 min layover
« on: June 21, 2015, 12:54:41 PM »
So I have an AA ticket on hold HNL-LAX-JFK for Aug 29, Economy, 40k/ticket. Timing is not flexible and it's the cheapest award ticket on AA.

I found and now also have on hold through AA, HNL-SEA (17.5k on Alaska), SEA-JFK (20k on American) for a total of 37.5k. The layover is 45 minutes. What are the chances I can have my luggage pass through to the next flight?

Also, if there's a delay on the first leg, I'm thinking they may not be so helpful if I miss my connection...Thoughts?

Separate bookings on separate Airlines that are not both part of one world is  playing with fire.

Delay on the first one very well could make your second leg worthless.
