I think you would go from Stapleton to San Francisco, with a brief stop in Oakland, aboard a red-and-white TWA Convair 880.

If I didn't know better, I'd agree with you J. You've got the correct airline but no - it's a different destination we're looking for here. Please - guess again!

75. Every Sunday morning at 10:25am this flight departs Acapulco, Mexico bound nonstop for New York’s John F, Kennedy International Airport, arriving at 4:00pm. Identify the airline and the aircraft operated on this once weekly service.

If not Aeronaves de Mexico, this was probably Eastern ... in either case, I'm reasonably sure the jet was a DC-8-50

So, um... which one was it?
