Based upon schedules reflected in the 1970 OAG I used to reference these questions, what was the longest Convair 880 flight in North America?
TWA is the airline of record. It wasn't JFK-PHX or PIT-LAX
I think we're left with Cincinnati/CVG - LAX
Yes we are. Good call,

Trans World TW 159 Cincinnati (CVG) 530p-654p D Los Angeles (LAX) CVR-880 Daily

Duty calls in the form of a sales call next week out in Albuquerque, New Mexico. From your home office in New Orleans, you figure you’ll probably have to connect in Houston or Dallas but are pleased to find a one stop direct flight that departs New Orleans each morning and arrives in Albuquerque with plenty of time left in the day to complete your business. You ask your secretary to book you a seat and then return your attention to the Metairie project.
I don't recall that HP ever served MSY except via Continental code-share ... but speaking of CO, a 737-524 via Houston/IAH is a logical idea
Another excellent guess - especially given Continental's longtime presence in both cities. But NO! It was a different airline operating a different aircraft type along a different routing. Please, guess again!
