It wasn't Southwest, Braniff or Continental and the stop was not made at DAL or DFW. Aircraft was a 727 and first class was available on this flight. Here's a hint: the stop was made at Houston Intercontinental (IAH).
Hmm... Well then, since Houston (IAH) and New Orleans were Pan Am country in 1982, ah'mon guess dat we be talkin' Pan Am enjoying the fruits of a little post deregulation expansion up to OKC, home of the first parking meters in America. As you've indicated, the aircraft was a 727 - perhaps a 100 variant.
26. Correct! Pan Am 992 operated with a 727 departed Oklahoma City (OKC) daily at 11:40 am and arrived into New Orleans (MSY) at 2:47 pm after spending just under an hour on the ground at IAH.
