One intermediate stop will be made en route by flight 333. What air carrier will you be flying on and what airport will you be arriving into at 7:40pm? Also identify the en route stop and the twin engine jet aircraft type.

I've been wracking my brain to come up with an obscure airline serving Merced, the airport I know to be closest to Yosemite. Nothing. So I'm gonna go with United, operating a 737-200 via SFO.
