sorry, left out the word “relevant” … if NA, NW, PS, or WA had been relevant to the question I would have explained in more detail why I was focusing on EA

1- can I presume that all other elements of my guess (other stops, sequence) *ARE* correct?

HOU-MSY-MOB-BHM-XXX-ORD

guessing XXX= Louisville/SDF

The third flight was operated with a 727-200.
14- too much negativity here, and not enough discussion as per the thread title

I’ll try Sabena with a 737-200 to Brussels/BRU and thence the 747 to Chicago/ORD; on to ABQ via the TWA 72S, stopping in St Louis/STL
