1958 flight JFK from M/Bay
Great info many thanks indeed.
Regarding our 1958 trip:
Looking at my mother's passport, we left B/quilla on Avianca flight 670 on 25 March 1958. I presume arrival in Jamaica ( BWI) was in Montego Bay as that was the Avianca route which continued to NY.
Why we did not continue with flight had to do with my sister and I being ill ( throat infections) and grounded in Jamaica until 27/3/58 whence we continued to NY probably because of no BOAC flights available on that date.
I recall getting a lot of Pan Am presents on that flight to NY ( sheriff star badge, etc) so I presume it was Pan Am but I take your point that Pan Am did not serve M/Bay. We arrived North Terminal, Heathrow on 29/3/58 after one night stop in NY. i.e. flew by BOAC Statocruiser on 28/3/58. My take is that arriving at North terminal implies it was a BOAC flight from NY?
Our return trip in 1958, my mother's passpot shows an 'embarked' stamp dated 24 May 1958 London airport flying by BOAC to Jamaica, and arrived Ba/quilla Avianca flight 671 on 25 May 1958 from M/Bay I presume.
Your info re 1964 707 flight makes sense although I do not remember the interim stops perhaps I was asleep - I've always thought it was a direct flight to Ldn.
many thanks
