UTP-CNX. U. Tapao - Chiang Mai, also operated by Kan Air's ATR72.
Was very close to booking CNX-UBP on Kan, but their schedule didn't quite work for me. Either the route nor the airline came up on ITA. How is the airline?

Kan Air is a great little airline. Its ATR72 is spotless inside and the in-flight service includes free hot meals. A minimum of 15kg free baggage allowance and some real value for money promotional fares from time to time. Unfortunately it does have its problems from time to time due to no backup when its only ATR is out of traffic for whatever reason.

presumably this means "out of service" ... which would of course result in the CNX flight being CNX

A bit off topic but may be of interest. Kan Air was been on watch by the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand for a year now due to liquidity problems. It suspended its ATR flights for about two months late last year and its leased ATR72 was laid up at Chiang Mai.

Both Tokyo and Seoul have multiple airports and so need to differentiate. As it happens Narita and Incheon are both names of the location of the airport predominantly used for longhaul flights to/from Tokyo and Seoul respectively.

Last year I did LEQ-ISC and back (went to Land's End and then went further, so to speak).

This year I shall do NYU-HEH which I would guess not many FTers have done.

I used to do quite a bit of private flying so have loads of unusual combinations with IATA codes I've be surprised if many people knew.

In my opinion it makes perfect sense, at least for Parisians, to use Roissy and Orly for the respecive airports - much more so than Charles de Gaulle and Orly. The only difference to Narita and Incheon is that the airport has a different "official" name. As far as I know the French, they couldn't care less for anything official.

Believe no less than a few FTers - including myself - have done PEK to FNJ. Did FNJ to SHE on the return, though.

Did this a couple of weeks ago. I think it's pretty common among folks travelling in Myanmar.

Remembering obscure domestic routes from the 1990s...

SEA-SQV

Commercial air service lasted IIRC only one summer season. It was more convenient than the SEA-CLM route which also eventually bit the dust.

And I've flown to many destinations from your home airport. Too bad that GRO only keeps a fraction of the flights it used to have a few years back

VNO-KBP
HND-HIJ
