TWA FFB/Aviators - Favorite TW route

Though I only flew it once, mine would have to be STL-OGG. Nothing like arriving at Lambert on a grey, cold morning, boarding one the 767s in TWOne config, and arriving on beautiful Maui 8 hours later. The return trip was a bit rougher with the red-eye and the reality of going back to the real world...

I always like the DCA-STL route (flew it enough times!). However, I also enjoyed Flight 1, STL-HNL. Remember when they used to wheel a cart around FC and carve a roast at your seat?!!

STL-OGG was a great route and one of the last nice trips I took as a non-rev. Flying DCA-STL on 757s was always a nice treat, especially compared to the jungle jets that now appear on that route. Some of my other faves included:

STL-HDN
STL-JFK on 747s (#844?)
STL-LGA on L1011s (big fan of #300)

I just liked being able to go nearly anywhere in the world, usually non-stop, from this little town of mine :D.

Gotta agree, STL-OGG was fantastic.
STL-CDG was another favorite.

I used to love to work the JFK-CAI route. Long flight on the SP but lovely passengers and such an interesting city to layover in!

I remember JFK-SAN-ONT-LAX on a 767. That was an extra 1000 actual miles.

However I lived on the JFK-CDG-TLV flights till they ended and then it was JFK-TLV. That was around 10 times a yr.What was great was that I knew 90% of the crew so it was like traveling with Family.

760, 800, 840

I was always jealous of those OGG arrivals at STL. Getting off the plane with their hawaiian shirts.

My favorite TWA route was LAX-JFK when it was a '67. I flew flight 702 to 7702 so many times.

There were so many great routes! Even to Cairo... but I recall one flight (was it an eatly mileage run?) BDL-BOS-BDL on a L-1011!

lax-jfk-tlv did it too many times to count
i knew some od the crew as well and the jerusalem twa office was in spead dial on my cel phone

I flew flight 702 to 7702 so many times.

Those of us who really knew that flight knew it as SEVEN-OH-ZOO! :D

Aaaaah yes, the châteaubriand service. Hummmmmmmm!!!

Those are certainly only distant and fond dreams, now. :(

WA used to do that as well. Another memory. Hmm, conspiracy theorists, how about that? TW and WA... dismantled by other and more rapacious airlines. ;)
