1. (1973) Lucky you! You’ve been picked to be your company’s lead sales rep at this year’s Household Appliance convention being held in sunny Tucson, Arizona. Although there are no nonstop or direct flights between your home base of Vancouver, BC and Tucson, you’ve found and intriguing itinerary involving three nonstop flights aboard three different airlines, each operating aircraft built in the same state. One of the aircraft is a widebody. Identify the routing, the three airlines and the three equipment types.
CP 737 YVR-SFO ~ AA 747 SFO-PHX ~ Unknown 72S PHX-TUS

4. (1969) Business has come up in San Diego that requires your immediate attention. From your home base in Bogota, Colombia you'll need to get there ASAP! Imagine then your surprise and delight to discover that San Diego’s just one stop away via two nonstop flights operated by two different airlines. It only stands to reason that for the purposes of properly entertaining you with this little quiz, two different models of aircraft will also be involved. So then, we’re looking for the two airlines, the connection airport and the two aircraft models. Apurate pues!
Routing via MEX is correct. Not with AV, RG, BN or MX though. We're looking for a 707. A WA 720 is involved MEX-SAN

6. (1986) Aguadilla to Acapulco. Can life’s relocations get any better than that? Yes, if First Class were available on either of the two nonstop flights that’ll be utilized to get you from BQN to ACA. But alas, only cattle class is available on both airlines involved. Each airline will operate completely different aircraft, too. Can you identify both airlines, both equipment types and the routing? Well, eventually I'm sure...
Arrow Air 72S BQN-JFK. Still looking for airline and aircraft JFK-ACA

11. (1973) From the beaches of the Caribbean to the shores of Lake Louise, you couldn’t be more excited about your upcoming trip from Miami to Calgary. Your first flight out of Miami will make one enroute stop to the connection point where you’ll board a nonstop flight to Calgary. Two dinners will be served enroute and both airlines will be operating the same model of aircraft. Hmm… 1973… Can you recall what two airlines, aircraft type and routing might meet these parameters? Of course you can. This one's so easy even most of the newbies oughta be able to get it!
It doesn't connect in Canada. Wardair, CP, AC and EA are not involved. Nor is JFK

14. (1969) Only one airline can fly you from Kinshasha in the Congo to Anchorage. Two flights will be required – the first a one stop direct flight to the connection point and the second nonstop into Anchorage. Both flights utilize the same type of equipment. Please identify the airline, the route and the aircraft type.
SN 707 ID'd. KINSHASHA-______________ - BRU-ANC cxn point is in Europe. It's not ZRH

21. (1969) You need to fly from Mexico City to San Juan, Puerto Rico. Unfortunately, all flights to Miami are sold out – even in First Class. Thankfully, you’ve discovered another option involving two nonstop flights aboard two airlines, each operating a different type of aircraft. Por favor, identify the airlines, the connection point and the two aircraft.

23. (1969) You’ve had a wonderful two week stay visiting your wife’s family in the Canary Islands and now it’s time to return to your home in the bustling metropolis of Santiago, Chile. To your great surprise, you’ll be able to fly home from Las Palmas via just two nonstop flights – way easier than the convoluted itinerary you had to fly on the way out. Two different airlines will be employed, each operating the same model of aircraft. Please identify the two airlines, the routing and the aircraft to be flown.
