Greetings in 2014, everyone! Last year was quite busy for me, so I did not have time to respond to many questions. Hopefully, this year I will try to respond to a few more... I have two responses below for today:
9) This is a guess because I can only pull up a WA timetable from two years before... WA had one nonstop DC-10 flight from Miami (MIA) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL), which was a 25 minute flight. The flight originated in Los Angeles, with a route that was LAX-MIA-FLL. There were four flights in each direction from LAX to MIA, all of which were operated by DC-10s. I would say that was a lot of service on that route provided by WA back then.
10.) NW flew from LAX nonstop to HNL, SAN, MSP and SEA, all with DC-10s. The scheduled flight time of the LAX to SAN flight was 35 minutes.
