4. If you wanted to fly from New York Kennedy (JFK) nonstop to Kingston, Jamaica (KIN) on board a DC-10 at this time, what airline would you call? HINT: The air carrier in question was not based in the U.S.
6. You are in Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii and need to travel to Sacramento. You've found a convenient schedule involving two airlines and a connection; however, you'll be in coach on both flights as the different aircraft types operated on each service do not have first class cabins. Your first flight is a daily one stop direct service and your second flight operates six days a week also with one intermediate stop en route. And the location of this intermediate stop varies depending on the specific day of the week. Three days a week it makes a stop at an airport which is different from the airport where it makes a stop the other three days of the week. Identify both airlines, the stop made by the first flight, the airport where the connection will be made, the different airports where the stop will be made by the second flight, and the different aircraft types. Western did not operate the first flight and Hughes Airwest did not operate the second flight. The first and second flights were not operated with a 720B and the first and second flights were not operated with a DC-9-30. The stop made by the first flight wasn't LAX and the connection was not made at LAS. The second flight stopped at OAK or SJC depending on the specific day of the week. HINT: Both flights were operated with narrow body equipment.
