The Travel Department has found you a great itinerary though - a couple of nonstop flights aboard two different widebodied jets with just a single connection, both on the same airline. You'll not be connecting through Europe and even better, you’ve been booked in Business Class on both flights. Identify the airline, route and both aircraft types involved.
No European airlines were involved, so I'll look south, and guess an RG 747 LAX-GIG, connecting to an RG DC-10 GIG-JNB.
Good call, Joe! You've nailed it!
