Given that we're down to
jrl767's single question which has elicited just three responses over the past week - all of them from just one participant - I thought I'd whip up a few more for the rest of our regular participants who are sitting idly by. Mind you,
jrl767's question is still in play and all here are encouraged to address it if they can. You'll find
jrl767's question
HERE. I'll leave it to him to update his question and responses as he sees fit. In the meantime, in the interest of picking up the pace here a bit, here are a few more bonus questions to consider...
B020. (1995) Enough of Vancouver’s winter rains! You’re ready to take your family to Florida for some sun and fun at Disney World. Even better, there’s a single daily direct flight between Vancouver and Orlando so you won’t have to worry about your bags not making the connection like what happened last year on your ill-fated trip to Palm Springs. The flight to Orlando makes two stops and you’ll be fed luncheon and a snack along the way. Identify the airline, the two enroute stops and the aircraft type.

B021. (1995) You’ve just picked up your tickets and itinerary for your upcoming trip from Culiacan, Mexico to Atlanta, Georgia to watch your brother and the Mexican National Soccer (Futbol) Team play an exhibition match against Team USA. Upon looking over the itinerary, you’ve discovered that you’ll be flying two flights on two airlines making a single connection. Additionally, you’ll be flying aboard two different aircraft, both manufactured by the same company. One of them is the smallest commercial jet manufactured by that company while the other is the largest. Identify the two airlines you’ll be flying, the connecting city and the two aircraft types.
B022. (1990) You need to travel from your studio in New York City to Vancouver where you’ve been asked to consult on a new Canadian television series. Aside from being a well-respected television producer, you’re also an aviation enthusiast and this trip will offer you an excellent opportunity to come up with a creative itinerary to Vancouver. Your first flight will cross the border to Montreal, after which you’ll travel aboard a trio of flights to Vancouver. Departing from New York’s LaGuardia, each flight will be on a different airline. Additionally, each flight will be aboard a different twin engine jet – each of them built by a different manufacturer. Two of the jets will be wide bodies. So then, armed with these details, can you identify each of the airlines and aircraft as well as the routing to be flown? Of course you can!

B023. (1990) Remember when flying between Burbank and Seattle meant comfortable 2-3 Economy Class seating aboard Continental Airlines 720Bs? Those were the days alright! These days two airlines offer either nonstop and/or direct service between Burbank and Seattle. One of them offers a single late night two-stopper that is perfect for your needs. Identify that airline, the two enroute stops and the aircraft type used.

B024. (The jrl767 Special) (1990) How exciting! You’re off to learn how to become an even better chef at the famous Institut de Tourisme et d'hotellerie du Quebec in Montreal. Meanwhile, as an avid aviation aficionado you’ve also taken advantage of this cross country journey to put together a fabulous itinerary from San Diego to Montreal utilizing three different airlines – each of them flying a four engine jet with each jet having been built by a different manufacturer. And there’s an added twist. Each of the jets are narrow-bodied. So then – can you identify the three airlines, the route flown and the three different aircraft types? We’re all counting on you!

B025. (1990) If you want to fly First Class between San Francisco and Mexico City, you’ve got only two choices. The first flight – a nonstop – is not available. The second flight, leaving just a half hour later, is a one-stop direct flight and it does have First Class available. Oh yeah! Book it, Danno! Identify the airline, the enroute stop and the aircraft type. If you feel up to it, you may also identify the airline offering nonstop service.
B026. (1999) Following Continental’s decision to replace its daily DC-10 departure from Manchester (UK) to New York’s Newark International Airport, there is only one remaining airline that still operates the DC-10 into Manchester. Identify that airline, please. I’d say identify where it flies to, but the name of the airline should give that away.

B027. (1999) You’re flying out of Birmingham (BHX) aboard the only widebody aircraft departing BHX not built in the United States. Where are you flying to? What airline are you flying on? And, most importantly, what type of aircraft are you flying upon?
Please see post #23745
B028. (1999) It’s been a great week of sun and fun on the beaches of Ft. Myers but now you’ve got to return to the hustle and bustle of Long Island, New York. Thankfully, there’s a single daily nonstop flight from Ft. Myers into Islip. Identify the airline and the aircraft operating this route.

B029. (1989) If it ain’t Boeing, you ain’t going. Well, you almost had to cancel your upcoming trip from Milwaukee to Denver because all of the usual suspects – at least the ones that offered nonstop service – only operated equipment from that other plane maker down in California. Heck, even most of the multi-stop flights were with aircraft other than Boeing. But wait! Yes! It turns out there’s one airline that operates a single daily one-stop direct flight each morning from Milwaukee to Denver utilizing Boeing equipment. Identify that airline, the enroute stop and of course the glorious Boeing jet type with which it is operated.
NOTE: I will return tomorrow morning at approximately 9:00am ADT (-9 GMT) to resume addressing any responses you may submit.
