Departing for Miami on a Friday night initially sounds routine, but to your surprise, both nonstops — Varig’s DC-10 and Pan Am’s 747 — are sold out.

Well, you’re always looking for more interesting options than a three-stop direct flight, and you find four alternative ways to get to MIA. Three of them utilize a 630pm departure on a one-stop flight to a connecting airport.

A- a one-hour interline connection to a nonstop flight, arriving at 615am. Each jet has a different number of engines.

B- a 1+10 online connection to a one-stop flight (same equipment type), arriving at 740am

C- a 1+50 online connection to a one-stop flight via a different city (also the same equipment type), arriving at 845am.

D- This option is a 5pm departure on a nonstop flight, with a one-hour connection to a two-stop flight arriving a 605am. Both airlines and equipment types are different from the prior three options.

Please identify all the usual information for each itinerary (airline, equipment, intermediate stop/s, and connecting points). Bonus points for the relevant info about the direct flight.

E- You decide instead to spend Saturday in Rio, and find an itinerary that allows you to travel mostly in the daytime on Sunday rather than taking a redeye. It involves nonstop flights on three airlines and two aircraft types. The details, please.
