connection time jfk-iad
I'm flying jfk-iad-eze. They have given me 1 and a half hour connection time at IAD - will this be sufficient? Also, is it possible to check your bags from UX/JFK all the way to EZE? And can you reclaim checked carry-on at the IAD end to take aboard on the onward leg? Thanks.

You should be able to check your luggage all the way through to EZE, and 1.5 hours should be more than adequate at IAD. You'll have to transfer from the A terminal to the C/D terminal, but that only takes about 20 minutes. You don't need to go through customs/immigration on the outbound leg, so that won't eat up your time.
You'll need to 'gate check' all of your carry-on larger than a newspaper for your JFK-IAD flight. You simply drop your bag by the stairs as you board the plane, then pick it up as you disembark -- so you'll have all your carry-ons for your IAD-EZE flight.
Hope this helps.
