Same on the way back, from, ARN-AMS getting at 8:40am, leaving at 9:50am for LAX. This is the only non-stop flight a day to LAX. If she misses it, she has to take the next flight, which has a stop over either in St. Paul or Detroit. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

These are tight connections, but still quite feasible. She needs to move at a deliberate pace throughout the process. The flight to LAX will have security at the gate even though she will have gone through security at the point of origination, ARN.
