While I’m not usually a huge Jeopardy fan (why would I be, when I can instead what intellectual, quality programming like “Too Hot To Handle?”), yesterday’s episode had a fun category category, “what’s my airline?”
I figure we could all use some airline trivia at this point, so I’ll share the five questions below, and I’m curious to see how many of these you guys can answer:
- $200 — In 1947 this carrier began flying regularly to London on what was called the “Kangaroo Route”
- $400 — After his flight was canceled, he hired a plane, wrote “Virgin Airlines” on a board, charged $39 for 1-way & “filled up my first plane”
- $600 — The headquarters of this airline that was organized jointly in 1953 by the federal & state government is in Cologne, Germany
- $800 — A few years after losing control of TWA around 1960, this man sold his shares for more than $500 million
- $1,000 — On May 27, 1936 Dublin & Bristol were on the very first route of this airline
Let us know how you did in the comments section! You can find the answers below if you highlight (or at least what I think the answers are).
$200 — Qantas, $400 — Richard Branson, $600 — Lufthansa, $800 — Howard Hughes, $1,000 — Aer Lingus
