Thankfully, you’ve found a convenient two flight connection from Aruba to Mexico City involving two airlines and best of all, you won’t have to connect through Miami. As an added bonus, none of the airlines are American and one of your flights will be aboard a widebody jet. Identify the two airlines involved, the connecting point and the two aircraft types involved.
Routing AUA-MCO-MEX KLM 747 MCO-MEX Looking for Venezuelan MD80 operator. Not AVENSA or VIASA.

Well, let's see here.....I seem to recall seeing an Aeropostal MD80 in Atlanta back around this time. So perhaps Aeropostal served Orlando as well. And that, Monty, is my best guess.

And you would be correct, JL! Here's the full itinerary -

Aeropostal LV 290 Aruba (AUA) 1030a-130p L Orlando (MCO) MD80 Tu Th Sa
KLM 631 Orlando (MCO) 325p-425p Mexico City (MEX) 747-400 Mo Tu Th Sa
