It involves two twin jets, each built by a different manufacturer and each offering a First Class cabin. The first flight makes one enroute stop to the connection point and dinner will be served. The second flight is nonstop into Denver. Book it, Danno! Airlines, routing and aircraft types, please.
15- I'll posit that we have a Braniff BAC 1-11 from FSD to Kansas City/MKC with a stop in Omaha/OMA, followed by a Continental DC-9-10 into DEN

As an added bonus, flying from Ottawa to Acapulco will involve only two nonstop flights on two different airlines via a single well timed connection. Two different aircraft types will be involved, both of them built by the same manufacturer. The aircraft are powered by different engine types, though each engine type is built by the same engine manufacturer. A total of six engines are involved. So armed with this plethora of clues can you identify the two airlines, the routing and the two aircraft types?
24- first guess here is Air Canada with a DC-9-30 to JFK, thence Aeromexico on a stretch DC-8
