You quickly book it and make a note to pack a sandwich since no meals will be offered enroute. Name the airline, the two intermediate stops and the aircraft type you’ll be flying.

Let's go with a TWA D9S operating Atlanta - St. Louis - Omaha - Sioux Falls.

Everything is correctexcept for Omaha. Switch that out for the correct city and you're home free ^

30. (1988) You need to fly from Nassau in the Bahamas up to Hartford, Connecticut. To your surprise, the market is served by a single once daily direct flight that makes just one stop along the way. You quickly book yourself a First Class seat. Which airline will you be flying with? And while we’re at it, what’s the enroute stop and what type of aircraft will you be flying upon?

I'll guess this was TWA with 72S service Nassau - New York JFK - Hartford.

This sounds oh so very reasonable, but NO! The airline we're looking for was not TWA and the aircraft was not a 727-200. Please, guess again!
