Flight with the most stops
Back in the 1970's, Northwest had a flight between DCA and SEA on a 727 that made 9 stops. These days that does not happen. I believe the flight would have to be on WN as often you will see an aircraft flying coast to coast making as many as 4 or even 5 stops. Any idea which flight makes the msot stops for any airline.

I believe that QF has a milk run flight as well into central Australia. Doesn't look like it is on the route map anymore.

If you fly Horizon Air in the Northwest USA much you'll start to encounter these sort of routings.
For example, I once recall flying to Kalispell, MT from Seattle. I think our itinerary was something like Seattle -> Missoula -> Great Falls -> Kalispell.

Ceiba Intercontinental has one from Abidjan - Accra - Cotonou - Malabo - Bata though. Not quite as fun since it proceeds in the same general direction though....

There's some by Bearskin Airlines using a Fairchild Metroliner that go through northern Ontario
JV 371 YOW-YSB-YAM-YQT
JV 361 YQT-YXL-YHD-YRL-YWG
There's also a few runs by Canadian North using a 737-200, here's one that I'll be taking in August.
5T 444 YEG-YZF-YVQ-YEV
Not quite as long as some posted here, but still useful for getting around a sparsely populated country outside of the main population centres.

That is very similar to the flights I had booked on CC.

With an advance booking requirement (of a few hours) you could easily determine whether you should even put the plane down in ___________ or just skip on ahead to the next one.
Unless of course there's a daily cargo delivery or something...
