While we wait for Seat 2A to post a new batch of questions, I would like to take a chance of stumping the crowd with four of my own:

TB1. It’s 1974, you and your newlywed wife just finished up your Honeymoon at Niagara Falls and need to get back to Cincinnati because you have to get back to work. You found a two-stop itinerary on a small jet that you haven’t flown before. Name the airline, type of jet, and the two stops you will pass through going home. Partially Answered-looking for the two stops

The following 3 questions have a timeline of 1977:

TB2. You are on vacation in Singapore when you receive a telegram from your brother that your mom has taken ill in London. It is Thursday morning and you need to get home by Friday noon because the hospital does not allow visitors over the weekend. You find an airline that has a connecting flight that leaves at 3:15 pm and will arrive around 7:30 am on Friday. You will have a one-stop flight to the airline’s hub and an additional one-stop flight to London. Turns out you will be on the same plane even though they are different flight numbers as the airline has only one 4 engine plane it is leasing for International flights. Name the airline, equipment, the hub, and stops on each flight to/from the hub. Partially Answered-looking for the stop between the hub and London. And nowAnswered

TB3. Again, you are in Asia as you have a craving for real Sushi, so you decided to visit Tokyo for a few days. You want to get home to London but feel like taking an airline you never thought of taking before. You found an airline that has a 4-engine jet that leaves close to midday, makes a stop at its hub, and arrives after dinner time in London. You want to sit close to the front of the plane as it can get very noisy behind the wing. Name the airline, equipment flown, and the hub stop you will make enroute. Answered

TB4. You are in Miami and have received a telegram from a lady you met asking to come visit her in Guatemala. You did not expect to take a diversion from the beaches in Miami, so you cannot afford to spend too much, but the lady is someone you can see being your future wife. You find an airline that will cost you US$280 round trip with a one stop-itinerary MIA-GUA flying on a three-engine jet that only has MIA as its only destination in the USA. Name the airline, equipment and the one stop enroute to GUA. Answered
