Assuming so, all I need to do is jet through immigration, collect bags from left luggage, schlep them to T3, check them and cruise back through fast track security. Assuming all on time (ha!) almost 90 minutes for that sounds like a lot. Am I missing something?
No, your not missing anything, it is enough time if you land on schedule and there are no delays getting off the plane, collecting the bag and making the transfer. Fortunately that flight has a very high on-time percentage so the odds are good, just don't hang around and all should be fine.
