One of our flight options from San Juan to LAX only gives us 1 hour and 15 minutes between flights. Is this enough time to go through immigration and customs? This will be in October.
Thanks,
Al

It is probably "do-able" but if you leave Bonaire even a little late you still have to make the long walk to Customs and Immigration, clear Immigration, wait for your luggage, clear Customs, re-check your luggage, go through security again then get to the gate for your next flight. Might make for some nervous moments ...

We did it in April with 4 of us, it was tight though, by the time we got to our gate (AA) they had started boarding already.

Hello, Has anyone tried to arrive SJU at 8:05am from Nevis and then connected on a flight leaving SJU at 9:00am ? This would be with first class seats at risk on the flight leaving SJU at 9:00

Hi
I've been on the San Juan to Lax flight that lands in L A at 5 pm and yes it was very doable.

from what ive read its a risk, i wasnt willing to risk my first class upgrades, i forgoe the nonstop to lax for a trip through MIA, its 2 hours longer but hey, ill drink more champagne!
the airline says its "a legal connection" and if you get stuck they will put you up for the night...do you feel lucky? ><((((º>
