I’ve also since flown to Hamburg, moving Germany to 4 airports.

I did fly to Bermuda, and made it back again in one piece.

Okay, I spent ‘way too much time on this. But it was fun. I had no idea I was so well-travelled. (Where by “well-travelled,” I mean “Planes hardly ever go from A to B without going through C and maybe D as well.”)

Like the Vatican City. 😉

I forgot I added PR.

The US is hard because I may remember flying through an airport, but did I actually get off the plane?

Anyway, here is a guess:

US: (27) Waterville (ME), Boston, Hartford, JFK, Laguardia, Philadelphia, Lehigh Valley (PA), Washington National, Norfolk (VA), Atlanta, Orlando, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Salt Lake City, Kallispell (MT), Rapid City (SD), San Francisco, Flagstaff (AZ), Phoenix, Portland (OR), Chicago O’Hare, Tulsa, Honolulu, Hahului (Maui), Hilo, Lihue (Kauai), Puerto Rico

Ones I may have gone through, but can’t say for sure:
Manchester (NH), Trenton (NJ), Dulles, Raleigh-Durham (NC), Midway (IL)

Other countries:
England: Heathrow
Germany: Frankfurt
Mexico: Mexico City
Bahamas: Nassau
Jamaica: Sangster
St. Thomas

Of course there were countries I visited where I did not use an airport in that country:
British Virgin Islands
Canada
Scotland
Austria
Liechtenstein
Switzerland

Wow! I doubt I’ll ever make that many in the US.

But – as I knew I would – I forgot a few overseas. I’ve changed planes in Hong Kong, which bumps China into 3rd place with 4 airports, and I completely forgot Taiwan, where I’ve been in Taoyuan, Songshan, and Tainan airports.

Joyful, didn’t you also fly to the Caribbean at some point? I seem to remember vaguely some such thing, but I may be confusing things.

Canada, 2 (Vancouver, and teeny airport in Vancouver Island)
New Zealand, 1
Australia, 1
Germany, 1
Switzerland, 1

I probably don’t really have time to do this, so I won’t think up all the US cities. Probably still less than Stephan.
