Thanks a_k. Sorry, I didn't see that thread and that I'd posted in the wrong place. (Moderators, please feel free to move my post.)

I did a search in the thread for TOS/Tromso and came up with one hit. Someone else asking about the tight connection time and checked bags at TOS. Just received the standard reply of "if everything goes ok". I guess more people would be posting if the connection was repeatedly problematic.

The tight connections make me wary now that I'm not mobile enough to be sprinting between gates and need to use wheelchair assistance in all but the smallest airports. It does help though that I can deplane and go straight to the next gate. Thank-you.
