I somehow didn't realize the CV-880 was powered by GE engines, but that's obviously the one (the four airlines, for the record, being AS, DL, NE, and TW). Only TW fits the JFK-ORD-DEN route, so let's try this:

BDA-JFK, BA, V10, RR
JFK-ORD, TW, B3J, PW
ORD-DEN, TW, 880, GE

I'm starting to feel like the "What's My Line?" panel when John just flipped all the cards because they weren't anywhere close to getting the guest's occupation in the number of guesses they were allowed. Thank goodness we don't have a limit here!
That's the ticket, dliesse! Good on ya! Here's the itinerary -

British Airways BA 491 Bermuda (BDA) 1255p – 305p L New York (JFK) Vickers VC.10 Daily RR Conway 540/550s
Trans World TW 289 New York (JFK) 535p – 701p D Chicago (ORD) Boeing 707-331B Daily P&W JT3D-3B
Trans World TW 261 Chicago (ORD) 7 55p – 912p S Denver (DEN) Convair 880-22M Daily GE CJ-805-3B
