This seemed like a brilliant idea that evening (doesn't it always?), but I definitely regretted it when I had to get out of bed to puke in the middle of the night.

Hopefully, this quiz will be almost as much fun as sipping a Hurricane on a hot summer evening, with Pat O'Brien's dueling pianos in the background.
this is a great question set, Joe!

Name the airlines, aircraft types, and enroute stops.
7- I’ll offer that the one-stopper was an Eastern 727-100 via PHL, and the two-stopper was Delta via BOS and ATL on a TriStar

1- let’s try United, operating ORD-CLE-PIT-MSY
