Hi, I am a US Citizen and I recently booked a flight to China and the flight details are from

Alaska airlines from Newark -> LAX (9:17pm arrival)

Then a connection in LAX to Xiamen Airlines from terminal 6 to Tom Bradley that departs at 11:55pm

This gives me ~2 hours and 30 minutes to get to my departure gate

Given the timeframe and it being around midnight, what are some concerns I should be aware of?

I did book the flight and the connection all together despite being separate airlines, will be bag be sent through or will I have to pick up the bags and such? It's been a while since I traveled internationally and any help/advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
