1. (1990) The last time you flew from Phoenix down to Mazatlan, it was aboard a multi-stop Aeronaves de Mexico DC-9. These days that airline is called AeroMexico and it no longer serves Phoenix. On a positive note, a different airline is now offering thrice weekly nonstop service down to MZT. Que Bueno! You call and book a couple of seats for the Saturday departure. What airline and aircraft will you be flying upon?

4. (1970) Your University of Syracuse Orangemen are playing the University of Miami Hurricanes this weekend. You love a good football game almost as much as you love the sunshine, beaches and bronze skinned girls down in South Florida. A call to your travel agent reveals a single nonstop flight operating between Syracuse and Miami each day. Book it, please. Name the airline and aircraft you’ll be flying upon.

9. (1985) You’ve found a great opportunity to fly from Seattle to Las Vegas aboard a pair of baby DC-9s – the -14 models – each of which is operated by a different airline. You’ll have an hour and fifteen minutes at the connection point, well within minimum guidelines. Identify each airline as well as the connection point.
Sunworld is one of the airlines. Horizon and Republic and Continental are not

10. (1990) You’re in Jacksonville, FL and need to get up to Montreal, Quebec to catch your seven day cruise up the St. Laurence Seaway and out around the Maritimes. On the downside, ypu’ll probably have to connect at one of those big crowded airports in the New York City area. But NO! As luck would have it there’s a single one-stop direct flight departing JAX each afternoon, arriving at Montreal Dorval in the early evening. Perfect! Book it! Forward cabin, of course. Airline, enroute stop and aircraft type please.

12. (2003) What a night! That little white ball was practically on fire as you burned up the roulette tables at Mandalay Bay to the tune of over $38000.00! So what the heck – why not fly back home to Burbank in First Class? As things turned out, there’s just one flight a day that even offers First Class between Las Vegas and Burbank and you’ve called just in time to purchase the last available seat. Book it, Danno! Identify the airline and aircraft you’ll be flying upon.

15. (1988) Those were the days when National Airlines used to offer wonderful Sun King Service aboard its stylish DC-8 fanjets between Tampa and Los Angeles. Alas, National is long gone and these days the TPA-LAX market is served by just a single almost daily nonstop. Identify the airline and the aircraft it operates on this route.

16. (1970) Fresh off delivery of a catamaran from St. Thomas to Ocho Rios, you now need to fly back to Miami. From the closest major airport, you see there are two airlines offering nonstop flights to Miami. Identify the airport, the two airlines and the aircraft type each operates up to Miami.

17. (1985) Per schedules available in the 1985 North American OAG I used to reference these questions, only two airlines still offered service to Toronto’s Lester Pearson International Airport with McDonnell-Douglas DC-8s – one with a standard DC-8 and the other with a stretch DC-8. Identify each airline, the DC-8 variant it served YYZ with and where each flight came into Toronto from.
AeroMexico was one of them...

18. (1989) Per schedulesin the 1989 North American OAG I used to reference this question, Honolulu is well served by DC-10s and L-1011s. Each aircraft type is operated by five different airlines. Identify the five airlines operating each aircraft type.

26. (1979) Now you’re in Denver and you need to get to Baltimore. You’ve got a sheaf of paperwork to go over before you get to Baltimore, so the three stop flight you’ve booked will allow you to get plenty of work done. Identify the airline, the three stops in order and the aircraft type.

27. (1990) Vermont sure is pretty in the fall, so when you’re informed that you’ll have to head out of town on business next Monday you’re not too happy about it. On a positive note, your destination is beautiful Savannah, GA and to make matters even better, there’s a single daily one-stop direct flight departing Burlington each evening. Book it, Danno! Identify the usual triumvirate – airline, enroute stop and equipment please.

30. (1990) As a lifelong resident of south Florida, you’ve often had occasion to visit Mexico’s Caribbean coast via Merida and Cancun. This time however, you’re headed for the other side of Mexico, to Guadalajara in the western state of Jalisco. And this won’t be a vacation trip either. No – you’re looking to invest in a new boutique tequila operation being fronted by your friend Guillermo Paz, a well-known star of Mexican stage and cinema. Guillermo knows his agave and you’re looking forward to learning more about the operation. Although you were expecting to make at least one connection, you’re surprised to discover a single daily one stop direct flight. Ay yi yi! Vamanos!! Identificar la aerolínea, la parada en ruta y el tipo de avión.

31. (1990) You’ve traveled overland from Guadalajara to Mexico City aboard El Tapatio, quite probably the finest streamliner in all of Mexico. Most amazingly, your First Class roomette cost you just $23 USD (Your quiz-meister rode this very same train in 1990) From Mexico City you need to head up north to Seattle, WA. Two airlines offer direct flights, but only one offers a First Class cabin. That’s the one you want. The flight makes one stop en route and you’ll be served breakfast and lunch along the way. Identify the airline, enroute stop and aircraft type.

33 . (2003) You had a helluva time getting from New York down to Los Cabos, what with a broken down airplane and a missed connection, but your travel travails were well worth it given the wonderful week of sun and fun that you’ve enjoyed. And, as if things couldn’t get any better, you’ve been upgraded to First Class on your two-stop direct flight back to JFK. Identify the airline and aircraft you’ll return home on as well as the two enroute stops.

36. (1990) As the project manager overseeing the construction of a new shopping center on Aruba, you travel every two weeks between your home in Coral Gables and the island nation. It used to be only one or two airlines offered flights between Aruba and Miami but these days five airlines offer nonstop flights. And get this! Although two airlines operate the same type of jet, the other three each operate jets different from one another. We’re talking two, three and four engine transports here. Your challenge – should you decide to accept it – is to identify each airline on the AUA-MIA route and identify the aircraft type it operates. Ready? Go!

37. (1998) You’re seated aboard the only flight between New York and Las Vegas that markets a Business Class or “C” class seat. Well what the heck – it’s cheaper than everyone else’s First Class so you’ve decided to splurge! Identify the airline and aircraft you’re flying aboard.
