One hour connection from toronto at O hara: Pure madness?

Hi

ive booked a flight from toronto to san francisco with a connection at chicago.

I arrive in chicago at 3:30 and depart to san francisco at 430

Im trying to research this because american airlines call this a valid connection.

but surely this is pure nonsense?

Im still not 100 percent sure of what to do, but from what i can gather i....

go through immigration.

pick up my luggage

go through customs

drop my luggage off at the transfer belt

go through security

go to my gate

or...

i have to go through immigration

pick up my luggage

go through customs

transfer to the appropriate terminal

check my luggage back in to my next flight

then go through security

and reach my gate

In an hour....Surely this is madness? :(

As I recall, the last time I flew back from Toronto, I went through U.S. customs at Toronto. When I arrived in the U.S., it was just like taking a domestic flight. I don%26#39;t think that there will be a problem making the connection.

BTW: It%26#39;s O%26#39;Hare.

The above post is correct. You%26#39;ll go through US customs and immigration inspection at Pearson before you board. Your flight will arrive at AA%26#39;s domestic terminal (Terminal 3) and you%26#39;ll simply need to walk down the concourse to your connecting gate.

oh really? :)

thats great news, i was really worrying about it. I just couldnt understand how they could do it.

Many thanks for the help :)
