11. Tampa, West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale and Miami are well served with nonstop flights from Montreal. Alas, the same cannot be said for Jacksonville. There is at least a direct flight, one that makes a couple of stops enroute. A luncheon is served somewhere along the route however, so perhaps it won’t be so bad… Name the airline, the two enroute stops and the aircraft to be flown.

I'll try Korean Air Lines

You Da Man, KT! Korean 720s passed through HKG via four different flights

KE 505 SEL-OSA-TPE-HKG-SGN
KE 506 SGN-HKG-TPE-OSA-SEL

KE 601 SEL-TPE-HKG-BKK
KE 602 BKK-HKG-TPE-SEL

33. Identify the only non-Pratt & Whitney powered twin jet (operating scheduled flights) that you’ll see in Bangkok in the late summer of 1972. Airline and aircraft type, please.

China Air Lines, Caravelle III (RR Avon engines)

An excellent guess, but no - it was not China Airlines (which operated 707s and 727s from TPE to BKK) Please guess again!

Each flight departs from a different U.S. city and each flight arrives in a different Mexican city. Each flight operates with a different type of equipment. Two different airlines are involved. Your job is to identify the three flights; determining each route, airline and aircraft. Buena suerte, Señor!
MOSTLY ANSWERED. We're looking for the airline that operates MSY-MID

Aviateca perhaps?

Yes Sir! And another one bites the dust!

Presuming the baseline for "longer" is the 2290 miles on the CP Air YVR-YUL flight, the only one that comes immediately to mind is Northeast's LAX-FLL at 2343 miles

You are correct! Northeast operated both MIA-LAX and FLL-LAX with its 727-95. There is one more which I believe is the longest point to point segment on a scheduled flight within North America. We have discussed it here on the OTAQ&D previously...

TWA operating a 727

Correct! TWA TW 479 Miami (MIA) 415p-519p Nashville (BNA) 727-200 Dinner Daily

Northeast operating a 727 with stops at Boston and New York JFK

You've got the correct airline, but one of your stops if off as well as the aircraft type. This ought to be an easy tap in for you even if I don't indicate which stop is wrong...

Rather more of a surprise, your connecting city is in Europe – not the U.S. Both flights are nonstop and are operated with the same aircraft type. Identify the airline, the connecting city and the aircraft type.
It's not Iberia, Air France or Lufthansa, but the aircraft is a 707

If we are more surprised the connection is in Europe, and it's a 707 ... Maybe it's Pan Am, with a Casablanca-Lisbon-New York flight that happens to connect there with a Madrid-Lisbon-San Juan-Miami flight; Didn't Pan Am used to do both those runs ?

Right on, WHBM! ^ Pan Am it was. Here's the schedule:

Pan American PA 149 Casablanca (CAS) 1115a-125p Lisbon (LIS) 707-320 Sa only
Pan American PA 255 Lisbon (LIS) 250p-515p San Juan (SJU) 707-320 Th Sa Sun
