I know that a conventional transit through any US airport is not possible in that one cannot remain on the airside between flights. But I have two close-ish connections on American Airlines in May on my complicated Socorro-Bonaire trip in May 2015 and want to clarify a few points.
The first connection is flying from Los Cabos (SJD) to Dallas / Fort Worth on AA 1225 and connecting to AA 60 to Miami. There are 2 hours between flights, enough if they allow me to book my luggage through from SJD to MIA but not if they do not. But in this case, there is a slightly later flight (AA280) that gives me an extra hour and a bit.
The next one is flying out from Curacao to Miami on AA 1639 and connecting from Miami to London on AA 38. In this case, there are 2 hours and 35 minutes between flights.
What I want to know is this: bearing in mind that both those connections are doing return legs from those respective destinations, will they allow me to book my luggage through? I know that I still have to pass through security etc but booking luggage through will make it easier.
