It might be worth noting this as an issue to be considered when rating the various turnaround options.
In one respect it's just LHR T5 that has conformance. In another respect some airports won't issue boarding passes after a given time, and that given time could be very conservative (e.g. FRA springs to mind, can be 50 minutes with some airlines there). With HBO and Apps that's not a huge factor here.

MXP is one of those airports I advocate, it does have a bit more walking than others, and there is a low key security check, but when the flight is on time some MXPs have long turnaround times too. It's also a half empty airport, which always helps! Still not quite as good as AMS, BRU, CPH, BGO, SVG, GOT, DUS, OLB - no walking and no checks. HEL and HAM runners-up. Of those BRU, GOT, HEL and to a lesser extent DUS have handy lounges too.
