As luck would have it, there’s a daily one-stop departure that afternoon that will put you into Albuquerque just in time for dinner at your favorite Mexican restaurant. Identify the airline, the one intermediate stop and the aircraft type, please

Southwest Airlines, DAL, Boeing 737-200. For a number of years, Southwest Airlines did fly out of IAH, probably from Terminal A and, near the United and US Air ticket counters and opposite Eastern. It left roughly 15 years ago.

Good call, Toshbaf! Southwest is correct, however by 1988 the 737-300 had joined WN's fleet and was - for this flight at least - the aircraft of record. Here's the schedule...

Southwest WN 84 Houston (IAH) 445p-535p Dallas (DAL) 550p-630p Albuquerque (ABQ) 737-300 Daily
