Come on guys no need to show off, think of the lesser travelled reader who reads this stuff some of which is pretty poor let's be honest, and tell them where you really went or will some of you go MIA now you've been called out?
Say what.....

You claim to be a frequent flyer have been on FT for 7 years, but have posted a grand total of seven messages and can't figure this out...

and sometimes airport names can be confusing -- for example there are two tri cities airport.
