Was it all on one plane? or did you have to change over at lots of these places?

It does not matter you are still physically in Colorado so therefore you have been to Colorado. You may not have experienced Colorado culture, seen Colorado scenary etc but you have PHYSICALLY BEEN in Colorado.

Then why the arbitrary distinction of setting foot on a country's "soil?" If you fly over a state or country you are technically within its sovereign territory, and hence have physically been in that place.

Connecting at DEN you physically walk on Colorado Soil so you have been to Colorado. Flying over you have not been to it cause you have not touched its soil. However I do know people who count a country that they have flown over.
This is how I count a nation. You may count is differently.

Right. Different people will have different definitions, and all of these definitions are completely arbitrary. [Unduly personalized remarks deleted by Moderator.]

DAM-MUC-LHR- a 747 SP operated by RB
Overnight in London
LHR-AMS- can't remember KLM
AMS-JFK, a KLM B747.
We also did JFK-LHR-FRA-IST-KHI-DEL all on a PA 947 and back the same way more than 30 years ago.

Multiple stops might not be too bad if they help break up a really long transcontinental flight into smaller segments but for domestic flights give me non-stop. Then again I may be jaded since every flight from my small hometown flight required a connection in ORD.
