Third flight: Midway Airlines (ML) DC-9-30, Chicago Midway (MDW) - New York LaGuardia (LGA)

Fourth flight: People Express (PE) B737-200, New York Newark (EWR) -Washington Dulles (IAD)

Fifth flight: Eastern Airlines (EA) B727-200, Washington National (DCA) - Fort Lauderdale (FLL)

Sixth flight: British Airways (BA) B747-200, Miami (MIA) - London Heathrow (LHR)
good guesses all ...

1- HNL CORRECT LAX INCORRECT WA INCORRECT D10 CORRECT
the first one shouldn't be too hard now

2- ONT INCORRECT ORD INCORRECT for this leg UA INCORRECT for this leg 727 INCORRECT for this leg
3- MDW INCORRECT for this leg LGA INCORRECT ML INCORRECT for this leg D9S INCORRECT for this leg (recall the clarification that the third departure airport is west of the arrival airport from the prior leg)
4- EWR INCORRECT IAD INCORRECT PE INCORRECT 737 INCORRECT for this leg
5- DCA INCORRECT FLL INCORRECT EA INCORRECT for this leg 72S INCORRECT for this leg (recall the fine fine print: there are two possible airlines for Leg 5, each operating a different type of turboprop aircraft)
6- MIA INCORRECT LHR INCORRECT BA INCORRECT 747 INCORRECT for this leg

decoding the red type:
  • "Incorrect" with respect to an airport (e.g., LAX) can mean either: (a) it's not in the itinerary at all, or (b) it's at the opposite end of a different leg of the itinerary
  • "Incorrect for this leg" with respect to an airport (e.g., ORD) means it's at the same end of a different leg of the itinerary
