So off you go in first class on a Friday morning on board a flight from Hong Kong to Athens which will make three stops en route. Name the air carrier, all three stops in order and the aircraft type. ANSWERED

9. Now it's 1968 and you are back in Aruba. You need to travel to the New York City area once again on business....but this time it would be much more convenient to arrive into Newark Airport as your meeting will take place in Perth Amboy. One airline can get you there via a quick 30 minute connection....however, both flights, which are operated with the same type of aircraft, only offer all-coach single class service. Your first flight from Aruba operates nonstop to your connecting city and the second flight to Newark makes one intermediate stop en route. Identify the air carrier, the connecting city, the stop made by the second flight and the equipment. ANSWERED

14. If you wanted to arrive into Miami on board a Lockheed L-188 Electra nonstop from an international location in 1980, what airline would you call and where would you depart from? It was Transportes Aereos Nacionales (TAN). Still looking for the city in Honduras this flight departed from nonstop to Miami.

22. In 1993, this air carrier operating nonstop service between Miami and two destinations in South America ran a print ad including these statements:

Offering First Class Service at Economy Fares! (Airline) daily schedule is served by a (equipment) specially configured as a one-class aircraft carrying 98 passengers in business class seats, two on each side. A host of trained cabin attendants serve the finest selection of complimentary champagne, wine and liqueurs accompanied by gourmet cuisine served on china and linen with a silverware setting. Other amenities include an open bar, in-flight movies and music, complimentary flight kit and gifts for the children.....

Identify the airline, the equipment and the two cities in South America served nonstop from Miami by this air carrier. Hint: the airline in question was based in South America and the aircraft was a Boeing 727-200ADV
And just four three two more to go here......
