Thanks for getting the ball rolling, J

You have this thing about two stops. Flying from Point A to Point B, you always try to pass through Points C and D en route. Of course it’s better when you can connect at both, and on longer trips, you’ll look to put two – or even three – two-stop flights together. So here we go; it’s the spring of 1966.

1- After two months in Amarillo, you’re looking forward to the upcoming long weekend with friends at the historic Columbia Gorge Hotel before starting a seven-week project outside Vancouver. You’ve booked a pair of two-stop flights, each on a different airline and aircraft type, with a 7am departure on Saturday and a 4pm arrival at the nearest major airport. Please identify both airlines, both aircraft, both stops on each flight in order, and the connecting point. Also indicate anything unique about either flight.

Well, I'll open with what seems to me a somewhat obvious choice:

TWA Convair 880 Amarillo - Albuquerque - Las Vegas - San Francisco
Connecting to
West Coast Airlines DC-9 San Francisco - Medford - Eugene - Portland
