If you can make it over to Honolulu by Sunday night, there’ll be a berth with your name on it in the aft cabin.
Faced with the prospect of returning home to Duluth, Minnesota or enjoying a couple additional weeks of sun, fun and camaraderie in the Pacific, you quickly telegraph back “Ya sure, you betcha! I’ll find a way to get there in time. Details to follow. STOP”
Imagine then, your surprise and delight to discover a direct, three stop flight departing Port of Spain each morning and arriving Honolulu just 21 hours and 46 minutes later. You make the call to the airline in question and book a seat - in First Class, of course! This itinerary is far too long to be traveled in anything but. Please identify the airline, the routing and the aircraft involved.
Well, at least I got the airline, equipment and first stop correct.... So with that observation, let's go with the American DC-10 making the second stop at Chicago O'Hare and the third stop in San Francisco following the first stop in San Juan.
You are ever so close! Just swap out SFO with the correct airport...
