On the outbound my flight arrives in DFW at 15:05 and the next flight departs at 16:30 and it says last check in at 15:30. Does this mean I have 25 mins to do all of the above? What happens if there’s a long immigration queue for example?
On the return can the bags be checked through from MCO?
You just clear immigration and customs then drop off your bags right after customs, no need to recheck in. Usually there is a ow rep giving orang express connection tags to those in a hurry at the plane when disembarking
On the return the bags will be tagged straight through, they are also tagged straight through in ARN
