SRE-LPB - 40min flight, saves 15 hours by bus, beautiful over the Andes and out of small small airports. Booked as part of BNA-ATL-LIM-SCL-LPB-SRE-LPB-LIM-ATL-BNA
JUJ-AEP - The airport seemed to be a place to hang out, there were only 2 flights a bay but the upstairs lounge was happening, similarly beautiful flight.
If we are talking non-commercial flights, SYQ-PJM, in Costa Rica, was the strangest flight I've ever taken, in the copilot city with a father paralyzed by a fear of flights. There were chickens blocking the taxiway, and the asphalt runway began right where the sand ended, on a very brief runway.

Keflavik, Iceland (KEF) to Accra, Ghana (ACC)
Freetown, Sierra Leone (FNA) to Bridgetown, Barbados (BGI)
Berbera, Somaliland (BBO) to Mogadishu, Somalia (MGQ)
Probably a few more too, but these are the ones that come to mind from recent years.

My recent OZZ-CMN flight stopped a RAK although nobody got off so not sure that counts. A nice 20 min flight was way better than winding through the Atlas Mountains for 3.5 hours.

MSV (Sullivan County International Airport, Liberty/Monticello, NY) - JFK, on Catskill Holiday Airlines, Summer of 1978.
MSV no longer has any scheduled service. Despite never having had on-site customs/immigration facilities, MSV got its "International" moniker when its first scheduled carrier, Mohawk, operated NYC (either LGA or JFK, I forget which) - MSV - YYZ, and reverse.
