Unfortunately, US Air is still a couple years away from offering nonstop flights in this market, but thankfully there is a single daily one-stop direct flight. Better yet, it’s a morning departure and it’s got a First Class seat available. Identify the airline, the aircraft and the enroute stop.

Braniff BN 183 Pittsburgh (PIT) 810a-915a B Kansas City (MCI) 1005a-1135a L Seattle (SEA) 727-200 Daily

60. (1979) Cleveland can be particularly dreary in the winter, so one can only imagine your excitement to be headed down to sunny Acapulco this weekend. Thankfully, you won’t have to make any connections either because there’s a single direct flight between Cleveland and Acapulco that makes two enroute stops. Name the airline, the two enroute stops and the aircraft type.

Worth a shot here ... I think 1979 is about when BN stood up their expanded services at Kansas CIty / MCI, so I'll offer their 727-227 as a "two-fer" answer
  • 37 (PIT-XXX-SEA)
  • 60 (CLE-XXX-IAH-ACA)
Yes to question #37 , but no to #60 . As logical as MCI would seem, that flight actually stopped at a different airport out of Cleveland. Please, guess again!
