The first fourteen (14) quiz items all have a time line of the Fall of 1993:
4) Only one airline was operating direct flights between San Francisco (SFO) and Auckland (AKL). The service was not nonstop but was flown with no change of plane from AKL to SFO four (4) days a week. This flight also made two stops en route. Identify the air carrier and the two intermediate stops as well as the aircraft type operated on the route.
6) This air carrier was operating weekly nonstop service between Hong Kong (HKG) and Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea (POM). Identify the airline and the aircraft it operated on the route.
12) This airline was operating direct, no change of plane service from Bangkok (BKK) to Portland (PDX). These flights were operated four (4) days week. Twice a week the flight made one stop en route. The other two days the flight made two stops en route. Identify the air carrier, the equipment operated and the intermediate stops.
Really guessing at the above questions because I don't have access to an OAG so I stand to be corrected big time:
4.) United Airlines. The route was SFO-LAX-HNL-AKL. The aircraft was a Boeing 747 (not sure if it was SP or the 400 series). HNL-AKL was part of UA's buy out of PA's Pacific routes several years earlier but UA discontinued the route sometime after 1993.
6.) Air Niugini. Not sure if the aircraft was an Airbus 310 or a Boeing 767-300ER.
12.) Guessing (wild guess) that this is Delta Airlines. The intermediate stops were Seoul and Tokyo. The aircraft used was a Mc Donnell Douglas MD-11.
