How long for International layover outbound Ohare

We are on AA coming from Indy (American Eagle) into Ohare and then on
to Heathrow. The suggested schedule from AA's website suggests an 1:05
layover at Ohare. Seems a little close to me. Next flight isn't for 12
hours. We are going to London to get on a cruise, but we are going out
Friday evening and catching the boat Monday afternoon, so all we would
lose would some sightseeing time in London.

There is no extra time for an international connection in the US (if you
originate from a US location).

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.

it should be enough time travelling in that direction (provided your first
plane is on time of course)

if you were travelling in the opposite direction it would not be long enough
as you would have to get through immigration.

Thanks. My first flight is more or less a shuttle from Chicago to
Indy so there is less of a chance of it getting delayed unless there is
a weather delay. Most weather problems in Indy, screw things up in
Chicago so my departing flight would probably be at least as delayed
leaving as mine is getting there.
We have about 2.5 hours going the other way.

on to Heathrow. The suggested schedule from AA's website suggests an
1:05 layover at Ohare.

You should be OK. Both flights will be at ORD terminal 3, so it's just
a walk from one gate to another.

If your int'l flight were on BA or another airline that leaves from
the international terminal 5, you would indeed need more time.

Minimum connecting Time for O'Hare Domestic to International is 30 min's,
apparently, so you have plenty of spare time!!!

Mind you, I'd suggest allowing a couple of extra days to get through
Heathrow and/or for them to find your luggage...it's getting ugly
there and Heathrow seems to have been pretty aful before the current
new terminald iasco.

P/S/ Yeah, I know the new terminal is BA but I doubt the rest of the
airport is unaffacted by the mess ansd the crowds.

We're not going until mid-June, so at least there should be a better
assessment of the damage by then.

AA will continue to land at Terminal 3 at LHR so all should be fine.
Terminal 5 is quite a long way from the other terminals. The other
terminals are unaffected by the recent problems.
