13. It's still 1979 and you are in Honolulu. You need to travel to the London area and would prefer to arrive into Heathrow as your meeting will take place in Windsor. One airline can get you there with a connection....but the connection only works three days a week. Fortunately, the schedule works for you with your first flight departing HNL in the evening nonstop to your connecting city where you will have two and one-half hours to connect with time for a shower and breakfast before boarding your second flight which will make one intermediate stop en route to LHR. Each flight operates with a different aircraft type. So with all this in mind, identify the air carrier, the connecting city, the stop made by the second flight and the equipment operated on each flight. It wasn't Air Canada, the connection was not made via YVR, the first flight wasn't operated with an L-1011 and the second flight was not operated with a B747
Given it wasn't a 747 into LHR, I think that rules out a connection in North America or Australia. Thinking this was a trans-Pacific/Asia routing despite a possible middle-of-the-night arrival time at the connection. How about Japan Airlines running a 747-200 HNL-NRT and then a DC-10 NRT-ANC-LHR?
