Thanks for bringing a very Seat 2A fact to this thread. I've only slept in 2 of them :D (ORD and LAS for the record). Unless you count brief naps, then I'd be at a dozen or so.

ANC also added. Now sitting at 71!

RIC added. Now at 72/100. Which incidentally would have been a good grade for me in college French :D

I know Seat 2A that you know more about airlines than I ever will but got very excited when I saw WN were starting service to Branson MO. Did a check and it is NOT the same as Springfield-Branson MO. I mean I will probably fly out of both eventually but not quite as simple as I first thought.

I just flew in last night to RIC - so down to 13 airports now in the US out of top 100.

Not made as much progress this year as I had hoped. I really wanted to be <10 by the end of the year.

Not a top 100 airport but just flew into ILG on the new F9 service. It means I have flown into an airport in all 50 states. Delaware was my last state to fly into.

What an excellent goal - and very educational for the kids too. Kudos ^

Well done! That's a great fact. Are you going to try and get TTN on them too? I flew RDU-TTN on them a few months ago for $29

In fact, several of the ones I haven't visited are the secondary/teritary airports in major cities -- HND*, GMP, SHA, LGW, STN, DME*, CGH. (*These are actually the primary airports in their metro areas according to this list, though probably not for long-haul traffic.)

Amazing that HND is so high; also surprised to see AYT and PMI so high; high-volume leisure traffic I guess.

Have two more of the 28 missing ones booked so far.

According to that list, I've been to the top 53 busiest airports.

I was also surprised to find AYT on the list. Not that I've been, but it's not exactly a hotbed for North American travelers either.

Yes but not immediately. My remaining few Top 100s are a higher priority.

of your Top 100, I have yet to hit 17:
MKE
AUS
RSW
ANC
TUL
GUM
LIH
LIT
ISP
XNA
GRR
SAV
SFB
SGF
TYS
MSN
JAN
I have originated/terminated actual travel at all but five of the others: FLL, RIC, HOU, and DAL were connection points to accumulate miles/segments; OGG was a thru stop where I didn't get off the plane (KOA-OGG-HNL on an Island Air DH8)

I distinctly remember overnights in the terminals at DFW, BOS, and LAX ... there are probably a few more from my college days; not sure that getting to MIA on the last bus at 7pm for a 230am flight (DL Convair 880 to ATL) would actually qualify as "overnight"; arriving SJU at 115am (EA 72S from ATL) for an 845am departure (Aero Virgin Islands DC-3 to STT) probably would though

Missing only 19:

5 HND
36 LGW
39 SHA
49 SZX
50 MEL
53 MEX
54 DME
56 TPE
59 FLL
61 PMI
65 KMG
72 BOG
76 MAN
83 STN
85 CJU
90 CGH
91 BSB
92 CTS
97 HEL

I have O&D at all 81 of them too. Most of the remainder are on my wish list.

With this group, we should be looking at the top 200 for more of a challenge. . .
