? about our international ff flights
 
I am sorry I don't have initials of the airports but here is what we have and I have 2 questions. Trip 9/1 All are ff miles.

1. frequent flyer AA from san diego to JFK arrive 4:01PM terminal 9

2. 5:20 flight at terminal 8 to Zurich arrive 9:30 AM

3. next flight to Milan on Swiss European (sister airline?)
10:25 AM


My queries:

will we make the flight to Zurich?

time between arrival at Zurich and departure for Milan seems tight?..is it?

and the last question...will my luggage go all the way through?

Again thanks...Lois

<i>...will we make the flight to Zurich?</i>

Yes.

<i>...time between arrival at Zurich and departure for Milan seems tight?..is it?</i>

Should be okay; ZRH says connection times are all less than 30 min.

<i>...and the last question...will my luggage go all the way through?</i>

Should do. Be sure to double-check at SAN.

Your baggage should almost certainly be checked all the way through - the airline can reassure you about this just call them up.

It's an official connection in Zurich and you have almost an hour, you'll already have your boarding passes so all you have to do is get there. If you miss the flight because of a late connection they will put you on the next flight without any fuss.

I think you've got your times mixed up.

American flight 64
departs JFK at 5:20 PM
arrives ZRH at <b>7:05 AM</b>

The other two times you have listed above, are the departure and arrival times of the SWISS flight.

American flight 6293 operated by SWISS
departs ZRH at 9:30 AM
arrives MXP at 10:25 AM


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 03:44 PM.
