That's my experience as well. But even the priority line can be very slow and with short connections I almost always have to run to be on-time at the gate.

I'll also have very short connections on flights next week (FLR-AMS-IST and back, 1h10 in the outbound and 50m transfer time in the inbound). The problem will be that I have twisted my ankle and won't be able to run or even walk fast. The positive side is that both AMS-IST and IST-AMS flights seem to be overbooked.
