I assume I'll have go through immigration/security at FCO since that's my entry point in EU. I have no idea what terminals I'll be arriving at/departing from. I hope 1hr30m is enough time? Thanks in advance.

Just a quick and sad update -- our flight from JFK was delayed about 30 mins, but since we were in J I thought I could still make it. When we got off the plane there was a AZ rep waiting with a sign, and he told us he'd take us to the gate along with the rest of the passengers for the same connection from our flight. So we waited... for 15 mins for everyone to get off the plane and go together, and ended up missing our connection to FLR by 5 mins.

I'm not sure what the standard protocol is, but I thought the rep might be able to call the gate agent and ask them to wait a few minutes as he had a few connecting passengers with him? Either way, I'm mostly upset because had we not waited with him we would've made the flight.

Moral of my story -- do not wait with AZ rep to catch a connection!
