9. A good friend calls and asks if you’d like to join him on a drive to the top of 14,110’ high Pike’s Peak. He’s already enroute from his home in Minnesota and suggests that you could meet him in Colorado Springs tomorrow evening. Ya sure, you betcha! A quick call to your local travel agent reveals the ORD-COS market is served by a single nonstop flight. Everything else connects through Denver. You’ll take the nonstop please. Identify the airline and aircraft upon which you’ll be flying.

11. Strong headwinds turn the normally 2 hour and twenty minute flight between Chicago and Colorado Springs into a three hour and twelve minute marathon. While others around you moan and groan, you delve deeper into your OAG to consider your options between Denver and Salt Lake City. Five airlines offer flights with First Class cabins. One airline offers a flight with a Business Class cabin (in lieu of a First Class cabin)......

11B: Identify the airline that offers a Business Class cabin (Not in combination with a First Class cabin)
6. Let's go with Eastern operating a B727-200 between Albany and New York JFK. And I think Braniff International may have operated ALB-LGA and ALB-JFK service with the 727 in 1981.

9. Sure sounds like TWA flying nonstop from ORD to COS with a B727-200.

11B. Perhaps this was Republic operating DEN-SLC with former Hughes Airwest B727-200 and/or DC-9-30 aircraft.
