7. You live on da south side a Chicago and want to fly out to a bowling tournament in New Jersey. You abhor the long drive through traffic to get out to O’Hare, and especially dislike the cost of parking there – which is exorbitant even by 1974 standards. Imagine then your surprise and delight to discover a two-stop flight from nearby Midway Airport direct to Newark. Identify the airline, the two intermediate stops and the aircraft operating this route.

please clarify: I don't see any requirement to associate any aircraft type(s) with any particular airline, or any particular airline with any particular segment(s)
more importantly: PLEASE tell us whether we can cut this elephant into small manageable bites in order to eat it (in other words, if you'll waive the usual requirement that the answer has to contain all 10 airlines and 9 aircraft types)

How about a TWA DC-9-10 operating via Dayton (DAY) and Pittsburgh (PIT)?
Alas, it was not TWA, J. Please - guess again!

Bonus Question: Back in the summer of 1976, I took a wonderful 11000 mile trip flying the following routing:
EWR-ORF-ILM-ATL-MEM-LIT-FSM-TUL-OKC-DFW-OKC-DEN-CYS-CPR-SHR-BIL-HLN-BTM-MSO-GEG-SEA-PDX-SEA-HNL-LIH-HNL-MKK-LNY-OGG-MUE///ITO-KOA-OGG-HNL-LAX-SFO-ABQ-DEN-PUB-ALS-DRO
Ten different airlines and nine different aircraft types/models were flown upon. Here's the challenge - using your knowledge of airline routings and aircraft flown during the 1970s, can you identify which airlines and aircraft types I flew over this entire trip?
Here are some hints:
Per jrl767: Please clarify: I don't see any requirement to associate any aircraft type(s) with any particular airline, or any particular airline with any particular segment(s)
I do. Allow me to restate the above: Using your knowledge of airline routings and aircraft flown during the 1970s, can you identify which airlines and aircraft types I flew over this entire trip?
Per jrl767: More importantly: PLEASE tell us whether we can cut this elephant into small manageable bites in order to eat it (in other words, if you'll waive the usual requirement that the answer has to contain all 10 airlines and 9 aircraft types)
If you have an understanding of airline routings of the day, you should be able to see the break points - or at least make an educated guess. You do not need to submit all 10 airlines and 9 aircraft types as your answer. This one's large enough that you can go section by section if you like.
Then again, why not challenge yourself? Go for all ten! You can do it, J!
I'll provide hints along the way as needed (The Hawaii sections could prove overly challenging...)

- Two of the flights involve airline interchanges
- "///" means I traveled surface between MUE and ITO
- For the purposes of this question, I consider a 727-100 a different aircraft than a 727-200. I do not consider a 747-100 a different aircraft than a 747-200.

How about Allegheny Airlines in a DC9-31/32 with stops in CLE and PIT (taking a hint from an earlier comment)
Hey now - I like this routing, Teddy! Unfortunately, it didn't happen in the 1974 OAG I referenced. Per that tome, Allegheny was not one of the airlines serving Midway. Please - guess again!

what about DC-9-10 vs -30 vs -50?
what about DC-8-20/50 vs -60?
of course you can wave these off if they're irrelevant

THE TIMELINE FOR THE FOLLOWING QUESTION IS 1974
7. You live on da south side a Chicago and want to fly out to a bowling tournament in New Jersey. You abhor the long drive through traffic to get out to O’Hare, and especially dislike the cost of parking there – which is exorbitant even by 1974 standards. Imagine then your surprise and delight to discover a two-stop flight from nearby Midway Airport direct to Newark. Identify the airline, the two intermediate stops and the aircraft operating this route.

For the purposes of this question, I consider a 727-100 a different aircraft than a 727-200. I do not consider a 747-100 a different aircraft than a 747-200.
Further clarification, please:
If there's a significant difference in size, for the purposes of this question I would consider it a different aircraft. Thus, a DC-9-10 is different from a -30, 50 or 80. The -20 was the same as the -10 and the -40 was only 6' larger than the -30 so I don't differentiate on those, i.e. 10/20 the same and 30/40 the same. However, since there aren't any DC-9-20s or -40s as part of this itinerary, it's a moot point.
As for the DC-8, series 10-50 all the same, -62 on its own and 61/63 or 71/73 all the same.
Just to head the next question off at the pass, for the purposes of this question I don't differentiate between the DC-10-10/15/30/40.
Let us count our lucky stars that the 737NGs, 747-300/400s and the narrow bodied Airbus fleet had not been introduced yet...

Denver-Pueblo-Alamosa-Durango. Frontier Convair 580
Here's what is partially correct so far...
Norfolk-Wilmington-Atlanta. Piedmont _______________
It might help to know how this trip was ticketed:
Newark to Denver via 3 airline joint fare (two different interchange flights were utilized as part of this routing)
Denver to Portland via 2 airline joint fare
Portland to Seattle to Honolulu via single airline
Hawaiian inter-island via Hawaii Air Pass
Honolulu to Denver via 2 airline joint fare
DEN-PDX ... already have the airlines, so SEA-PDX on a NW DC-10
PDX-SEA-HNL also a NW DC-10
Hawaii interisland ... post 5069 from a couple years ago confirms HA D95 (HNL-MKK-LNY-OGG) and D9S (OGG-MUE); other segments are a coin flip
HNL-DEN ... already have UA, so SFO-ABQ was likely also UA (727-100); ABQ-DEN wasn't FL, so let's say a Continental DC-9-30

Good morning, everyone! We've had no internet for the past three days here - not to mention a six hour power outage on Wednesday night that may have precipitated the internet problems. At least the television wasn't out so I was able to watch as my Broncos beat the favored Panthers. In any event, I apologize for the brief ellipsis in correspondence and am glad to be back on line. On to the question at hand...
ORF-ILM-ATL ... PI 727-100
The first joint fare was as follows:
Airline A: EWR-ATL
Airline B: ATL-MEM
Airline C: MEM-DEN
There were two through flights involving at least two stops. Additionally there were two interchange flights.
DEN-PDX ... already have the airlines, so SEA-PDX on a NW DC-10
It was not a DC-10...
PDX-SEA-HNL also a NW DC-10
We're looking for a different airline here...
Hawaii interisland ... post 5069 from a couple years ago confirms HA D95 (HNL-MKK-LNY-OGG) and D9S (OGG-MUE); other segments are a coin flip
Correct!
HNL-DEN ... already have UA, so SFO-ABQ was likely also UA (727-100);
HNL-LAX-SFO was UA, however SFO-ABQ was neither UA or TW...
ABQ-DEN wasn't FL, so let's say a Continental DC-9-30
Continental is correct, however CO didn't have any DC-9-30s until after the Frank Lorenzo mess in the early 1980s.
