较难的单词(B2+)
This is a Wendover Productions video, made possible by Audible. So I recently went down the rabbit hole of looking at old flight schedules. Airlines used to publish these physical brochures with their fares and flight times, and when looking at this American Airlines one from 1967, I noticed something interesting.
The flight between New York and LA was scheduled as 5 hours and 43 minutes long. That didn't seem right. American Flight 3 was scheduled to leave JFK Airport every day at 12 noon and arrive at LAX at 2.43 pm.
There's 3 hours time difference. It turns out that nowadays, American Airlines Flight 3 still leaves JFK daily at noon, but the difference is that today, Flight 3 is scheduled to arrive at LAX at 3.27 pm, 44 minutes later than in 1967.
