Your travel agent has come up with a solution. It involves three flights on three airlines. The first flight is nonstop (Thank God, eh?!) but the second flight makes three enroute stops. After a three hour layover, you’ll connect to a nonstop flight to Auckland. The second and third flights are operated by the same type of aircraft. The first flight is not.
7- the three-stop second flight clearly suggests the Qantas “Fiesta Route” 707 service between Bermuda/BDA and Papeete/PPT; as we have discussed several times over the years, this flight operated via Nassau/NAS, Mexico City/MEX, and Acapulco/ACA

PPT-AKL on a 707 would have been Pan Am

in 1969, I have to think Air Canada’s YHZ-BDA service still featured a Vickers Vanguard
