(ORD and LAS for the record). Unless you count brief naps, then I'd be at a dozen or so.

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.

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

Wow, I am surprised that I have been to 72/100, with only one out of the top 25 missed (HND). 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.

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.

of your Top 100, I have yet to hit 17:
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

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)AUS
