I have a 2 hour layover in both directions, so fingers crossed about no delays.
Insufficient for separate tickets.......

For one ticket, 2h is recommended but you're covered in case of misconnects. With separate tickets, a late/cancelled inbound means you're on your own for a new ticket at the walk-up fare. LH won't do anything. If it's a risk that is acceptable to you, so be it. But if things go wrong, don't complain.
