Identify the three airlines, the two connecting points and the single aircraft type.
33- pretty clearly the first leg was on Alaska to Seattle/SEA, and the second was to Dallas/DFW, most likely on Braniff; that points to American for the final leg … the jet was a 727, and I suspect AS was more likely flying the -100 out of KTN

A call to your trusty travel agent results in an intriguing itinerary involving three nonstop flights, each of them on different airlines with each airline operating a different foreign built aircraft type. Identify all the usual particulars, por favor.
34- I’m having difficulty coming up with a third non-U.S.-built type that fits the routing requirement for three nonstop flights, but maybe Braniff sneaked a One-Eleven on one Chicago/ORD-to-Dallas/DAL trip … DAY-ORD was a United Caravelle, and DAL-MTY was a Mexicana Comet IV-C
