Brownie points if you can name the single enroute stopover city.
I'm going to go with a very off the wall guess here and say TW with an MD-83 via STL.

As for the 747s from the non-coastal cities, I was surprised that longtime flight number UA1 ORD-HNL was not a 747 in 1989. To the correct guess of HP out of PHX, let me add:
LAS, also on HP
and DEN on CO (if I guess IAH does Houston count as a "coastal" city? )
