Two airlines will be involved with your journey from SJU to MUC with both operating nonstop flights with aircraft built by different manufacturers. You'll also have just under two and one half hours to make your connection. Identify both air carriers, the connecting airport and the different aircraft types.

Next guess, of which I actually flew the first flight but not in 1980.
TWA, Lockheed L-1011, SJU-JFK
Lufthansa, McDonald Douglas DC-10, JFK-MUC (Riem)
5. Well, we have already ruled out Lufthansa here. And we can also now rule out TWA. Plus the connection was not made at New York Kennedy nor were the L-1011 or DC-10 operated on the flights in question.

Please guess again, sir!
