Answer
Friday July 24, 2015
Category: NATIONAL AIRLINES
Clue: THIS SMALL LAND'S AIRLINE ADVERTISES A "STOPOVER": 7 NIGHTS AT NO EXTRA TRAVEL CHARGE TO BREAK UP A BOSTON-BRUSSELS TRIP

Answer: Where is Iceland?
Clearly the clue is asking the name of the country. However, on the tv game, Alex accepted the name of the airline as a correct response. Further, the guy had the wrong name of the airline, "Icelandic Air" but Alex said that was the old name of the airline, and they were looking for 'Iceland'. So, very loose scoring on this. If you answer Icelandic Air, Icelandair, or anything with 'iceland' in it, give yourself a point.

Missed it, but FYI for those who use white to hide spoilers, that doesn't work for those of us who use the blue forum template.

I knew there was a reason not to do that. The usual link was jacked up.
