Didn't fly it... did this via the Fast Ferry Convenient for a day trip.

This one is a common flight- but not usually booked on its own:

QX PUW-LWS

Flew it once n/s - friend drove down and picked me up in about the same time. Also flew it to connect to OO's LWS-SLC.

Couple fun ones in AK with H6... who else has gone thru CHU and SRV (with random stops in between) - I know of a couple of FTers

This last one is operated daily, but by a single engine cessna typically- Spernak is one of the main operators of the run.

MRI-TYE

I flew YAK (Yakutat)-CYT (Cape Yakataga) and back in May 2012. It is a scheduled flight, though only 3x a week and with an EAS subsidy. I don't think this route is still flown anymore (ended in late 2012). Was with Alsek Air.

I assume a lot of y'all have travelled round-trip to a city and entered at one airport and left from another? Like my last flight, BOS-YYZ, YTZ-BOS? $88 on DL (Delta 88!) for BOS-YYZ, and my father desperately wanted to fly PD back.

OK I'm not sure HOW rare these are, because so many people on here eclipse my travel experiences but here it goes:

CWB-IGU on JJ - a pleasantly brief 1hr flight instead of an obnoxious connection via CGH - wonders cheaper combining this with the next flight to keep it D-D, D-D

IGR-AEP on AR - just a taxi hop across the border from IGU, great way to save time and cash instead of CWB-CGH GRU-EZE

LBP-SRE (and return) on OB - 1hr instead of 15hr by bus, beautify scenery the whole way, and a rt ticket grabbed for US$ 40.

Less likely to be unique to myself: SCL-IQQ-LPB, with a stop at IQQ entailing preparations for landing at the altitude of landing at 4,100 meters (13,300 ft).

Developing world short-haul international is delightfully quirky

Actually, Alert in Canada is technically the most Northern airport in the world. My father's been there, but I haven't.

I've done OSL-TOS-LYR. I really wanted to do Ny-Alesund which is even further North, but it was going to be >$1,000 private transfer.

Thought this was pretty rare also:
LLK-ZRH / op by HW (Hello)
Lənkəran didn't have scheduled flights then, but I recall TK fly there these days

Westerly, RI to Block Island, RI. I forget the type of plane. A 9 minute flight with 4 passenger seats plus they used the co-pilot seat for passengers. They even provided a small bottle of a pre-mixed cocktail.

I loved getting the "upgrade" to the co-pilot seat. All you had to do is ask. No elite status needed. which was good since they had no FF program although you could buy multiple round trips at once and save money. The airline only had 1 route.

Two airlines flew the route back in the 80's and I am not sure who flies it now. One airline was technically a charter company (New England Airlines) but had scheduled times.

That's not too difficult. I've gone PHX-DFW-LGA, JFK-DFW-PHX and with LHR/LGW, CDG/ORY etc. it's fairly easy.

FSM-FAY (pre-XNA). Not a particularly uncommon route in Arkansas back in the day, just wonder if any flyertalkers have done it....
