Given later available flights, I would personally be allowing more time to allow for IrOps, but it all comes down to your personal assessment of risk.

I have a similar situation where I'm connecting from Star Alliance to oneworld on separate tickets in ARN next month, and I have about 90 minutes between flights on an HBO basis. I have no other option because of available last flights, but I can assure you it's not something I'm doing by choice!
Thank you for the swift response.

I think I will simply buy fully refundable tickets on the A3 3:40pm flight and cancel if need be. As cheap as they are it would be foolish not to.
