An airline is not a tour operator: so, if you miss your connection at LAX, that's tough. If you are rebooked on AA, then AA has responsibility for all its flights and connections between its own flights. Anyone who is really worried about this kind of thing should book with a tour operator which is acting as a principal, or use only one airline for all flights or use only one alliance for all flights. -- Visit Caribbean Aviation: http://www.caribbeanaviation.com/
