Questions About Connecting in ARN

I'm planning on flying to ARN as an entry to Europe (because theres a really nice low fare on Delta right now) but I'm planning on flying to LHR from there. How do non-schengen to non-schengen connections work at ARN?

When I return (LHR-ARN-JFK), is 1:55 enough time to connect? I'd be arriving on an SAS flight from LHR, and connecting to a Delta flight to JFK. If all else fails, I can probably fly back to ARN the night before, and overnight at an airport hotel (they seem to be very inexpensive) at the expense of an entire day of activities in London.

I swear Arlanda airport's website had a page about connecting flights, but maybe they removed it.

Pretty sure you're going to arrive and leave in the F-pier in T5. I'm just not sure whether you need to clear passport control prior to going to your DL flight (which shouldn't take too long, I hope).

I've decided to overnight in the ARN area the night before, just in case of delays that would cause me to miss my connection.

Would you consider staying at Jumbo hotel?

I tried. It was quite a nice experience.

I stayed in the ensuite room which had its own bathroom. The whole place smells mildly of sewage due to the plumbing (which seems to be a common theme in Stockholm as the airport restrooms and the other hotel I stayed at also smelled the same). There's no climate/temperature control in the room. No food options nearby although there's an airport bus route that operates around the clock.

Neat for a one night stay, but definitely not worth a longer stay than that.

The nearby Radisson Blue Arlanda hotel has a restaurant and bar that I've eaten at while staying at the Jumbo Stay and Forenom airport hotel
