5. (1990) JL Special No sooner have you stepped off Windjammer’s three-masted Barquentine at Port of Spain than you receive a telegram from your old college buddy. There’s been a last minute cancellation in his group that’s about to embark on a journey from Honolulu down to Christmas Island to fish for bonefish and grouper. Care to join them? 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.

Three times pays for all, Monty.... And for the third stop, I'll guess Dallas/Fort Worth. Thus, my final guess is an AA DC-10 operating POS-SJU-ORD-DFW-HNL.

OMG! I'm in shock! It wasn't DFW. On a positive note, that's three responses though.

You're also good to have a go at another question - and have been regardless of this question's 2/3 response status
