Tokyo HND to JFK with LAX 1 hour and 30 mins connection.
Hi all, I have an upcoming flight from Tokyo to JFK with a 1.5-hour connection at LAX. I'm looking for recent experiences and feedback on this connection at LAX.
- Arrive HND → LAX into Terminal B
- Depart LAX → JFK from Terminal 4
- One AA ticket/PNR with checked bags
- Layover: 1h30
- TSA PreCheck and Global Entry
This connection was offered by AA when I searched for TYO to NYC. It's one booking.
- Is 1:30 realistically doable for international → domestic at LAX?
- After immigration/customs in Terminal B, is there an AA “Recheck Bags” area nearby so I can drop my bag without seeing an agent?
- After rechecking, do I go straight upstairs to TSA in Terminal B and take the airside walkway to Terminal 4? About how long is that walk?
- Most importantly, if I miss the JFK flight due to customs or security delays, will AA rebook me?
I do have Global Entry and TSA PreCheck, and I'm flying business on both legs.
Thanks for the feedback!
