Your first flight is nonstop and operates daily. Your second flight only operates one day per week and makes two stops en route. One of these stops is a very obscure location which no longer has air service. So you will not need to provide this stop with your answer....but you will need to name the other stop made by the second flight. Identify both airlines, the airport you will depart from in the New York City area, the airport where you will make your connection, one of the two stops made by the connecting flight and the different aircraft types operated by each air carrier, both of which had one thing in common. The first flight was not operated by Trans-CanadaAir Lines (TCA) or its successor Air Canada and the aircraft wasn't a DC-8. The first flight departed from Idlewild (IDL). Theconnection was not made in Winnipeg.The second flight was operated by Transair....but it did not stop in The Pas or Flin Flon andwas not operated with an HS-748 or DC-6. Hint: both aircraft types were powered by four engines.
3- I suspect the Transair flight was a DC-4, as I don’t recall them as a Constellation operator
Toronto/YYZ would appear to be a logical connecting point, perhaps starting with an American 707 from IDL; the Transair flight might have stopped at North Bay (or one of two other points I can think of) as well as some isolated place in northwestern Ontario
