Check in closes some time before departure as well, ARN connection is unlikely. LHR is later but you need to pass through passport control again.
3. No.
4. No.
Thank you very much for your help.
I mentioned MCT because it is good reference for considering whether there is enough time to do whatever is needed, ie, go from gate to gate. For the short time listed for MCT I thought 75 min would be more than enough , assuming that there is no need to re-check luggage.
So your advice is that even without having to re-check luggage, 75 min is not enough?
Thank you.
