70. After a week of visiting in-laws in Omaha, Nebraska, it’s finally time to return home to Dallas, Texas. There are no nonstop flights between OMA and DAL but you’ve found a nicely timed 4:30pm departure that will make two stops enroute, arriving in Dallas at 7:15pm. Your wife is none too pleased at the prospect of spending most of the afternoon aloft when you could have booked an earlier one-stop departure that would have gotten to Dallas in considerably less time. She’s all smiles though when you reveal that you’ve shelled out an extra $10.00 each to upgrade you both to First Class all the way. A hearty snack and free booze will be served enroute. Identify the airline, the equipment and the two enroute stops.
