Rather amazingly, only three nonstop flights will be required – each aboard a different airline. Three different aircraft types will also be involved, with two of them having been built by the same manufacturer. So then, you know the drill by now. Please provide us with all the relevant details.
26. Well, I believe that Tijuana (a suburb of San Diego) never had much in the way of transborder service to the U.S.
However, I do recall one Mexican air carrier that did provide such service: Aero California. So lets board one of their DC-9-30 aircraft and make a nonstop hop up to LAX.
And once in Los Angeles, we'll board an Air Canada 767-200 and fly nonstop to Edmonton International.
We'll then connect to a 737-200 operated by Canadian North and fly nonstop to Yellowknife
