Three airlines will be involved, with the first and third airlines operating the same exact type of aircraft. The second airline will operate a different aircraft type, built by a different manufacturer. Identify the three airlines, the complete itineraries including all intermediate stops, and the two aircraft types.

I *seriously* doubt we're looking for a two-stop regional turboprop on the last flight into PIT, so I'll offer this itinerary:

YLW-Vancouver/YVR, Air Canada D9S
- YVR-Seattle/SEA-Denver/DEN-Kansas City/MCI, United 727
  - MCI-St Louis/STL-Indianapolis/IND-PIT, USAir D9S

an alternative routing I have in mind involves two of these airlines and one of the jets ... after that, it'll be wild guess territory

Hmm... let's get you a fresh start...

Because all of the airlines, all of the jets and the entire routing has no relevance to the routing we've found. But good on ya for wading in and getting this one started

Here's a hint: Two Canadian airlines are involved...
