So assuming the flight arrives on time will there be plenty of time to clear immigration, collect the bag, recheck-in & clear security in T1?

I suppose in a ideal world I would have liked to used the Etihad arrivals lounge but would that be a tad foolish?

There is an outside chance I could persuade wifey to travel with 2 sets of hand baggage, how strict are Etihad with overweight hand baggage in the apartments?

Thank you in anticipation
