I think anyone who had a flight in a non-touristy remote country would qualify for this.
Two years ago I had a flight between TBS (Tbilisi, Georgia) and Queen Tamar Airport in Mestia on DHC-300 Twin Otter.
I seriously doubt that anyone else in this forum was on this route despite the fact that this is a regular flight.

In that area of the world I did EVN-TBS on Armavia but guess that other have done that to just as others surely have done FRU-TAS on HY.

I'm jealous. When I was in Mestia there were no scheduled flights so we had to take a marshrutka to and from Zugdidi that took a long, long time.

Flight between Irkutsk and Yakutsk on Yak-40 20 something years ago - was not as much fun...

also REP-PNH.
KMG (Kunming) - RGN (Rangoon/Yangon) in 1984; I've posted about this somewhere before; twice monthly flight; just me in the back and a bunch of Chinese generals in the front. I guess this will soon become a less uncommon route as tourism in Burma picks up
But here are two that I suspect no one has done:
TNN (Tainan) - KNH (Kinmen/Quemoy)
KNH - CYI (Chiayi, Taiwan)
which I do all the time.
and this reminds me of another:
TTT (Taitung, small town in southern Taiwan) - KYD (Lanyu, volcanic island off Taiwan), 1990 or so. - fascinating place.

I used to fly that route quite regularly. The first time was MST-AMS during a country-wide train strike in the spring of 1991 (160 guilders for a one-way ticket). I wanted to save some money so then got on a bus instead of taking a taxi and it took me more than four times as long to get from Schiphol to the Crowne Plaza near Central Station than it had taken me to get from Maastricht to Amsterdam!

Mine must be DUS-CGN on something called LGW Luftfahrt Gesellschaft Walter (code HE) as part of an itinerary that went on to ERF in Eastern Germany. At the time, I thought it was the shortest flight I had ever done, although I think WIC to KOI in the Orkney Islands might have been shorter.
Or ABZ-INV, in the old days of British Midland (1988), as part of a flight that originated at LGW.

a few
JAX to IDL on National Airlines in 1959.
DCA to BWI on National Airlines in the late 1960's.
JFK to GDL on Air France in the late 1960's (fifth freedom put to good use)
IAD to CGN on LH in the 1980's.
JAX to RDU on AA when RDU was a hub for AA.
NAS Argentia (Newfoundland) to McGuire AFB New Jersey in 1959 on a MATS flight (Military Air Transport) Oh, the joys of being a military dependent

I have one.
DFW - ACT (Waco, TX) on AA (Eagle). It's 89 flight miles! I guess I can see if you are flying in from LAX or someplace far away but you can drive it in an hour. I've done DFW - CLL (College Station, TX) once but never ACT.
