2. Your meeting in Atlanta went very well. And now it's time to fly to your second stop: Vancouver, BC. There is no nonstop service from ATL to YVR....but there is a direct two stop flight. Name the air carrier, both stops and the aircraft. It wasn't United, the second stop wasn't SEA andthe equipment wasn't a 727-200. The first stop was DEN.

GIG-XXX-YYY where the connection for options A, B + C to MIA is?
So YYY (connection) is not CCS, but XXX is extremely close to EZE or GRU?

So presumably it has to be Aeroperu with a 727-100 for the 1s leg.
connecting to A. PanAm with a 747
B Aeroperu with the 727 via BOG
C. Aeroperu with the 727 via CCS

You should have seen the Air France Concorde I spotted years ago at CDG. I was in the AF business class lounge preparing to fly to Houston on board a Continental 777-200 (CO BusinessFirst pax could use the AF biz class lounge back then). This particular Concorde was parked at a gate quite close to the lounge and the exterior was filthy. In comparison, every British Airways Concorde I saw over the years was spotless.
And BTW, the CO airplane I flew on that day from CDG to IAH was not only clean both inside and out (thus reflecting one of Mr. Bethune's mantras at the time), it was also quite colorful.....

3. Another great meeting! So you're now off to your third and final stop: Tucson. And nope, there's no nonstop service from YVR to TUS....but there is a direct three stop flight. Identify the airline, the three stops and the equipment. It wasn't Republic, stops were not made in SEA, RNO or LAS and the aircraft wasn't a DC-9-30.

3. That is an excellent guess, sir! And I would have guessed this was Western as well!
However, it wasn't WA, the flight in question did not stop in Portland or Salt Lake City and the equipment wasn't a 727-200....but the third stop was indeed Phoenix.
Please guess again!

I don't think our OTAQ&D pax ever like leaving a city on the same carrier which they arrived, and certainly not on much of the same routing, but maybe this is the time our Quizmeister has zigged while the rest of us zagged:
FL 73S routing YVR-GEG-DEN-PHX-TUS?
