Identify the airline, the two stops, and the aircraft type utilized.

DC-10 stopping at LGW

It wasn't LGW, but it was a DC-10. I think you've got this next time - if only through trial and error

22. (1992) Following a relaxing week in Aruba, business requires you to travel to Little Rock, Arkansas. OMG! How many flights and airlines is the journey from Aruba to Little Rock going to take? Thankfully, the same travel agent who arranged your most enjoyable trip to Aruba has also worked his magic on your onward journey to Little Rock. To wit, he’s found two one stop flights aboard two airlines separated by a single connection. Each airline operates the same model of aircraft, though each is of a significantly different variant. I know it’s a lot to ask, but the correct answer must include the correct name of each airline, the enroute stops for each flight, the connection airport and finally the two aircraft, including the correct variant for each.

Wonder whether this was Kiwi connecting at EWR... a little out of the way, but the only other 727 operator I can think of that might have filled the bill.

A good guess, but no. Plus we know it was a 727-100 operator, which we know Kiwi was not.

Please, guess again!
