I’d guess San Juan (SJU) was the first stop, followed by the capital cities of the former French territories of Guadeloupe and Martinique, being Pointe-a-Pitre (PTP) and Fort de France (FDF) respectively
42. Correct! I do not have the complete schedule but do know that AF 357 departed Port-au-Prince every Sunday at 1:10 pm and then arrived into Caracas at 8:35 pm following stops in San Juan, Pointe-a-Pitre and Fort de France. Air France operated this flight with a B727-200 and was also operating 747 service at this time once a week nonstop from both PTP and FDF to CCS (with the latter service being flown with a combi aircraft) with these 747 flights originating at Paris Charles de Gaulle.
