1958, 1964

"The outbound flight in March 1958 was rather convoluted ( for varoius good reasons) via NY having flown from Barranquilla, Colombia on Avianca to Montego Bay then connecting there on to NY, on what I presume was by Pan Am, then by BOAC Stratocruiser to London."

The 2/58 OAG shows Avianca leaving Barranquilla 1230 XWe, Kingston arr 1430 lv 1445, MBJ arr 1515. No BOAC to IDL until the following day; I'll check on PA.

(Turns out PA didn't fly Jamaica to NY; probably your only choices were Avianca or a BOAC DC-7C or a "BOAC" Viscount.)

"The July 1964 trip started in Barranquilla, via Pan Am DC-6B to Kingston where we took a BOAC B-707 flight to London via Montego Bay."

6/64 OAG shows PA 458 DC-7C Friday only lv Barranquilla 1130 arr KIN 1325-- no other PA flights on that route. Only one weekly BOAC (operated by BOAC-Cunard) doesn't go to NY, and conveniently for you that flight leaves KIN at 1400 Fr.

MBJ arr 1430 lv 1500
NAS arr 1620 lv 1705
BDA arr 2005 lv 2050
LHR arr 0820
