HIGH ALTITUDE BRANIFF - Braniff International increased its already large presence in Latin America with additional service between the US Mainland and Latin America on June 1, 1965. Braniff added three roundtrips between the Americas to its schedule, bringing total roundtrips to twelve each week. The new flights included daily jet service to Bogota, Colombia, and included three nonstops and four one-stop flights. Additional jet service was provided to Panama City/Balboa, Panama; Lima, Peru; and Guayaquil, Ecuador. Braniff began operating nine jet flights to Panama, seven to Bogota, six to Lima, and four to Guayaquil. Additional jet flights also included two each to Buenos Aires, Argentina; Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, Brazil; and Asuncion, Paraguay. Eleven of the 12 new flights operated via the Braniff and Eastern Airlines Interchange Service, which had originated at New York through Miami, since May 1955. A weekly flight from Chicago to South America via Houston, Texas, was included in the 12 weekly roundtrips. Also on June 1, Braniff began two weekly jet flights between Bogota and Lima, with an intermediate stop at Guayaquil, on the southbound leg of the roundtrip. Braniff also inaugurated a third Douglas DC-7C shuttle flight between Lima and La Paz, Bolivia, making the Dallas-based airline the preferred U. S. carrier between the Americas. Braniff International's complete service to Latin America was as follows: NEW IMPROVED SERVICE!! Southbound - Douglas DC-7C El Dorado Lima Limatambo - La Paz El Alto Flight 601 Depart LIM 945AM Arrive LPB 125PM WeFrSa Lunch Terminates at LPB NEW IMPROVED SERVICE!!

In what was possibly the world's first Codeshare Agreement, Braniff contracted with Sadia Airlines, a Brazilian local service carrier, to provide the connecting flights with twin-turboprop Handley-Page Dart Herald aircraft. Braniff termed this flight a change-of-gauge flight, which allowed passengers to travel on the same ticket on both airlines, which was the premise for the later named codeshare agreements. In 1967, Hensen Airlines and Allegheny Airlines created a large-scale change-of-gauge agreement, but it was not until 1989, when an American Airlines and Qantas agreement was termed a codeshare or codesharing agreement. Sadia Airlines was founded and owned by Dr. Omar Fontana, who had started the airline in 1955, with one Douglas DC-3. His new airline transported meat, from his father's meat-packing factory, to Sao Paulo, and surrounding areas. Sadia was met with great success, and in 1963, Dr. Fontana traded the DC-3 in for two Dart-powered Handley-Page Heralds that seated 50 passengers. Mr. Fontana later changed the name of his airline to Transbrasil, in 1972. Transbrasil purchased several Braniff 727-100 Trijets during the 1970s.

All flights originated in Latin America and proceeded to the US Mainland and then changed to the next flight number for the return southbound segments. For example, northbound Flight 978 originated at Buenos Aires, where it departed at 645PM on Wednesdays and Sundays and arrived at New York Kennedy the next day at 1124AM. The flight remained on the ground at Kennedy until 1030PM for the return Flight 979, as depicted above. Braniff International Airways offered both First Class and Tourist Class fares between the US Mainland and Latin America. One-way and roundtrip fares were as follows: La Paz - Lima First Class - One Way $70.00 USD; Roundtrip $133.00 USD Tourist Class - One Way $46.00 USD; Roundtrip $88.00 USD Kansas City - Panama City/Balboa First Class - One Way $370.50 USD; Roundtrip $713.90 USD Tourist Class - One Way $287.00 USD; Roundtrip $553.00 USD New York - Bogota First Class - One Way $241.00 USD; Roundtrip $458.00 USD Tourist Class - One Way $185.00 USD; Roundtrip $352.00 USD New York - Rio de Janeiro First Class - One Way $429.00 USD; Roundtrip $815.00 USD Tourist Class - One Way $330.00 USD; Roundtrip $627.00 USD New York - Buenos Aires First Class - One Way $442.00 USD; Roundtrip $840.00 USD Tourist Class - One Way $340.00 USD; Roundtrip $640.00 USD Photo 1: Braniff International Boeing 707-227 Intercontinental Jet "Adolph" registered as N7074 is parked at the gate with a sister Boeing jetliner at Dallas Love Field in March 1966. Ship N7074 is painted in the 1965 Alexander Girard Turquoise Solid Color Scheme with Girard Sky Font and BI Tail Logo in Black. Braniff owned only four Series -227s, along with N7072, N7073, and N7075, and was the only carrier to order the high-powered lower-density jetliner. The first Series -227 that was ordered, Ship N7071, was lost during a customer introduction and training flight.

HIGH ALTITUDE BRANIFF - Braniff International Airways inaugurated a new interchange service with American Airlines and Continental Airlines between Texas and California. The new service, dubbed the Texas-California Arrow, featured Douglas DC-6 four-engine airliners that operated from Houston, Texas, to Los Angeles, California, with intermediate stops at San Antonio and El Paso, Texas. Braniff crews operated the daily flight from Houston Municipal Airport to San Antonio, where American Airlines crews assumed command of the DC-6 for the next segment to El Paso Airport. At El Paso, Continental Airlines crews flew the flight over the last segment to Los Angeles International Airport. The flight was flown every day in both directions with the westbound flight departing Houston just after 3PM in the afternoon and arrived in Los Angeles before 9PM. The eastbound flight departed Los Angeles slightly after 11PM and flew through the night before it arrived Houston right after 8AM. Both the eastbound and westbound flights were conveniently timed for easy connections to and from other Braniff destinations and more importantly for connections to Braniff flights to and from Latin America. The new service lasted less than a year because of a new Civil Aeronautics Board route award to Continental over the same routing. Braniff schedules over the ABC Interchange were as follows: NEW!! Westbound - Douglas DC-6 Houston Municipal - San Antonio Municipal - El Paso Municipal - Los Angeles International Flight 953 Depart HOU 315PM Arrive SAT 415PM Daily Braniff Crew Flight 953 Depart SAT 435PM Arrive ELP 545PM Daily American Crew Flight 953 Depart ELP 615PM Arrive LAX 835PM Daily Meal Service Continental Crew/Terminates and operates eastbound Flight 952 the same evening Flight 953 was conveniently timed for domestic connections from Corpus Christi, Texas, Flight 44 that arrived in Houston at 125PM and several flights from Dallas to Houston. Flight 400, a Douglas DC-4, that departed from Buenos Aires, Argentina, at 630AM every Tuesday and Saturday with intermediate stops at Asuncion, Paraguay; La Paz, Bolivia; Lima, Peru; Guayaquil, Ecuador; Panama City/Balboa City, Canal Zone, and Havana, Cuba, before arriving in Houston every Wednesday and Sunday at 120PM, gave passengers ample time to connect with the Texas-California Arrow at 315PM. Other flights from Latin America were also timed to connect with Flight 953 with minimal wait time at Houston. NEW!! Eastbound - Douglas DC-6 Los Angeles International - El Paso Municipal - San Antonio Municipal - Houston Municipal Flight 952 Depart LAX 1105PM Arrive ELP 300AM Daily Continental Crew Flight 952 Depart ELP 325PM Arrive SAT 635AM Daily American Crew Flight 952 Depart SAT 705AM Arrive HOU 805AM Daily Braniff Crew/Terminates and operates Westbound Flight 953 every afternoon Connections with other Braniff domestic flight could be made upon arrival in Houston on Flight 953, including nonstop service to Dallas Love Field and Waco, Texas. Passengers could continue to Latin America via Flight 403 every Wednesday and Saturday, which departed Houston at 1050AM to Buenos Aires, where it arrived at 1143PM every Thursday and Sunday. On Sundays, passengers could connect with DC-6 Flight 605 that departed Houston at 1205PM and arrived in Rio de Janeiro at 550PM on Monday with intermediate stops at Havana, Panama City/Balboa, Guayaquil and Lima. Every Monday Flight 601 operated over the same routing from Houston at 1205PM but continued from Lima to Buenos Aires, where it arrived at 515PM on Tuesday. On Fridays, Flight 603, a DC-6 El Conquistador, departed Houston at 1205 and flew to Havana, Panama City/ Balboa, Lima, and finally Rio de Janeiro, where it arrived at 550PM every Saturday. Braniff offered one-way and roundtrip fares between Houston and San Antonio. Fare quotes from Houston to other points along the ABC Interchange required calling Braniff for a quote. All fares were subject to a 10 percent Federal tax. Braniff fares between Houston and San Antonio were as follows: Houston - San Antonio One Way - $11.85 USD Roundtrip - $22.60 USD Photo 1: Braniff International Douglas DC-6 El Conquistador registered as N90884 is being prepared at Houston Municipal Airport for its next departure to Havana, Cuba, in 1951.
