SYR-XXX and XXX-MSP, AA and NW, 707 (presumably) and D10 -- I'm thinking the only logical airport left for XXX is DTW (but I do have a less-logical one in mind if this is wrong)
all CORRECT

So:

SYR-ART and ART-SYR, 9L, SF3 (since the B99 has already been ruled out)
good guess, but still INCORRECT on both
