Well, it beats Toledo, Ohio you suppose. On a positive note, you’ve come up with a great itinerary on a fairly straightforward route involving four nonstop flights operated by four airlines, each operating aircraft built by a different manufacturer. Please identify all the usual stuff – airlines, route and aircraft.

I’m pretty confident that this is one of those questions for which there are doubtless several plausible answers, so I’m going to posit a somewhat roundabout — though certainly “fairly straightforward” — route that starts with a bit of a backtrack:
  • Kona/KOA-Honolulu/HNL, Hawaiian DC-9-50
  • HNL-Los Angeles/LAX, Delta, L-1011
  • LAX-Newark/EWR, American, 767-200
  • EWR-SJU, Continental, A300
KOA --> HNL --> LAX are correct! EWR is not. You'll need to be even more "straightforward" on your routing.
You struck gold with Delta and the L-1011 between HNL and LAX.
American is also involved, but not with a 762, and not involving EWR
HA and CO are not involved.
No DC-9-50s are involved.
An A300 is involved at some point, but not in or out of EWR

Alright, that should provide you with a few more clues to get a lot more done on this one. Good luck!
