8. (1992) Few things could be finer than a week in February in the Canary Islands, so the thought of having to return home to comparatively cool and cloudy Leeds is not such a happy one. At least you’ll be able to get there relatively quickly via a couple of nonstop flights and a single connection. Two airlines are involved, each operating the same type of aircraft. Airlines, connection point and aircraft please.
Um ... Canary Islands is not an airport; but the islands have a range of substantial airports, and a big set of holiday flights, including there would be a range of such nonstop flights to Leeds/Bradford, Britannia Airways 757s probably in the lead. However, they won't be in the OAG. Now the same aircraft type knocks Amsterdam on the head, because AirUK on to Leeds would only have short range 146s or even F50s. Can't see it being through London Heathrow onto a British Midland DC9, because an inbound DC9 wouldn't have the range. So let's kick off with a Futura 737-400, Tenerife South to Dublin, connecting onto an Aer Lingus 737-400 Dublin to Leeds/Bradford.
