I need data on which passenger flight has the most number of stops (no change of aircraft type, no change of flight number) in the following categories:
1. Most number of stops by jet from the past:
Pan Am PA 1 operated daily by B747-100 JFK-SFO-TYO-HKG-BKK-DEL-
-KHI/THR-BEY-IST-FRA-LHR-JFK (10 stops) in 1975. PA flight 2 also
flew daily on the reverse. Can anybody suggest a jet flight with more
than 10 stops?
2. Most number of stops by jet from the past which is not a round-the-
world flight:----must be LADE (Lineas Areas del Estado) F28 from
BUE to Rio Gallegos via 9 stops? (in the 80s)
2. Most number of stops by propeller (post world war II)----must be the same
Pan Am round the world with a DC6B or a DC7??
3. Most number of stops (before WWII)
could it be KLM the DC2 from AMS to Australia which won the race?
What were the stops and how many passengers did it carry? Did it have
a flight number?
4. Most number of stops by jet operating currently that is not RTW charters
must be the CO island hopper from HNL to GUM stopping at Majuro,
Kwajalein, Kosrae, Chuuk, Pohnpei (5 stops)----anything more than that?
5. Most number of stops by propeller operating currently
must be Air Labrador Twin Otter in Newfoundland (about 8 or 9 stops)?

Your item 3:
My Braniff schedule for September 16, 1946 shows the following single flight operated by a DC-3:
Braniff flight 53 routing:
Chicago > Moline > Burlington > Kansas City > Topeka > Wichita > Ponca City > Oklahoma City > Dallas > Fort Worth > Waco > Austin > San Antonio > Laredo
The scheduled ground times were 5 minutes, except for Dallas which had 13 minutes.
The flight left Chicago at 8:50 am and arrived Laredo at 9:08 pm.

...Ooooh this kind of flights is outdated now except may be some SyrianAir flights like DAM-ALP-BEY-MUC-FRA-BEY-DAM or the Bengladesh Biman DHK-DXB-BRU-NY and back.
