55. You're in Chicago in 1991 and it's time to head back to Los Angeles. Now you could catch a nonstop.....but where's the fun in that?! Especially when you've found an interesting direct flight which makes three stops en route and operates six days a week to LAX. Identify the airport you will depart from in Chicago, the airline, all three stops and the aircraft. It wasn't Southwest or United, the equipment wasn't a B737-300 or B737-500 and this flight did not stop at BNA, HOU, PHX, DSM, DEN or SMF....but it did depart from ORD.

55- RR powerplants most likely means a TriStar —Delta L-1011 via Atlanta (ATL), New Orleans (MSY), and Dallas/Ft Worth (DFW)
55. Well, you've correctly guessed the airline: Delta.

However, the aircraft wasn't an L-1011 and stops were not made at Atlanta, New Orleans or Dallas/Ft. Worth.
