1968 itinerary

Hi - Just a little research project. Hope it isn't irrelevant to this forum. Q: If I was flying from Paris to New York in 1968 (Pan Am?) what would my itinerary likely be? Stopovers?

Thanks,
MB

Direct flight from Orly to Idlewild by B707 or DC8, if I remember correctly.

It's been JFK since 24th December 1963.

Pan Am in 1968 flew from ORY Paris to JFK non-stop. 707, or maybe the odd DC-8 still around that year - The DC-8's were removed by 1970.
Flights from ORY would go on to call at FCO and then places East...
