Interesting, I only missed 5, and two of those were because I couldn't figure out what the game wanted them to be called (Dallas, McCarren).

We're going to shift this over to TravelBuzz! where it's perhaps more appropriate.

Thanks.

Stupid. It accepted IAH, but not ORD.

Edit: I missed 4, but two were because I could not figure out what to write.

I missed 5, three for this reason (also Intercontinental). Missed Denver
from stupidity and Orlando from oversight.

Took much of the 5 minutes to figure out O'Hare (rather than ORD or Chicago)
and Beijing (rather than PEK or Peking).

Agreed. Why would an airport quiz not accept airport codes? I typed in SIN several times before I figured out you had to type in Singapore.

Same here - I tried three different browsers when it wouldn't take ATL as my first guess... or Narita or....arggh

still - 20/20 with 0:29 left - I must admit reading this thread helped - I put Houston in at least twice before I recalled the IAH note above.

Well, Narita isn't actually one of the top 20. The airport they are referring to as Tokyo International is Haneda (HND)

Except they didn't except Haneda either. I had typed Narita, then Haneda, neither worked, I was quite annoyed that Tokyo then worked. What a terribly designed quiz.

Then I guess the way they designed it worked in my favor. I found it amusing that I tried playing the game again and it took me only 20 seconds shorter (2 minutes hunting for PHX). I'm just glad they didn't force you to type Suvarnabhumi.
