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.
B021- if smallest/largest combinations refers to types
in production in 1995 we would have the following:
- Boeing 737-500 and 747-400
- McDonnell Douglas MD-87 and MD-11
- Airbus A320 and A340
I could see a Mexicana A320 from CUL to Dallas/DFW, connecting to a fifth-freedom Lufthansa A340
if we look at
historical production, it would be the 737-200 and the DC-9-10 … and this yields a much more plausible choice, namely Aero California with a DC9 to Los Angeles/LAX followed by a Delta M11
