I have noticed this too, with modern jet navigation (using Flight Tracker to look up real world flights) that often there is a stop-over and a switch between aircraft. Now, as it concerns classic traffic, was there a typical airport where such a stop-over occurred? Say, between New York City and Los Angeles, where did classic flights stop halfway across for fuel and such? I would hazard a guess it would be someplace like Kansas City, since that is probably the central most airport east to west, but I am not sure where, historically speaking. Did it really matter, or was one location more favored over others?

Back then stops and routes were regulated. American stopped in Chicago or Dallas, United in Chicago or Denver, TWA in Chicago or Kansas City, and Northwest in Chicago, Detroit, or Minneapolis.
