I use Jetlovers.com The nice thing is that the inputting of new flights is automated, so you just check in on facebook and the flight will show up a few days later. You can then input the flight number and they'll usually pull up the plane registration / type etc. Here is my map:

I am just over 100 but when I think of it, I am disturbed that I am missing some!
In the US, I am missing Hartford/Springfield, Austin, and Providence, among the disturbing ones. Not too sad that I am also missing Fargo, Jacksonville FL, Syracuse, Palm Springs, Boise, and Richmond VA.
Internationally, I have major gaps including
Europe: FCO, HEL, ATH
Middle East: DXB, AUH
Africa: CPT
Asia: PVG, PEK, KIX
South America: GRU, EZE
North America: YUL, YYC
Australia: PER

7000 sq m is 75,347 sq. ft. for us Americans. My house is 2,340 sq. ft., so that makes K. N. P. airport 32 times the size of my house. That's a pretty good size for a small town airport and would be a pretty outrageous living room. I can think of several airports that are smaller. The Beverly Hillbillies mansion is up for sale in LA and it is said to be the most expensive mansion in the US. It is listed at 25,000 sq. ft.

There's an Indian guy who built a $2 billion, 27-floor skyscraper as his personal residence. It's around 400k sq.ft. I think. I'll concede that there probably isn't a living room that's bigger than K.N.P. airport, but there are homes that are bigger than 25k sq.ft.
I'd love a living room the size of an airport. Maybe I'll build an artificial river through it and canoe my way into the kitchen.

Only to the extent that I will actively avoid certain ones. DEN for example..I will fly to COS when I can just to avoid DEN, even if I have business in Denver. It's a 45 minute drive from Co Springs to Denver..but then it's about the same from DEN to downtown anyway. DEN shouldn't be properly called Denver Airport, not being in Denver after all.
I avoid MCO like the plague..because with all those kids and families running around I feel like I might actually catch the plague. The Kettle level at MCO is off the charts. The musical chairs with seating, the hundreds of family pre-boards per flight, the screaming babies. I fly to TPA and drive.

Yup. 1984. Not surprised it's expanded since then!

I don't keep track of every flight, just add each airport to my list the first time I visit as a passenger. I also don't track airplane types. I do have a list of airlines, which may be incomplete because of the ones way in the past that have gone out of business. I'm at 33 airlines right now.

use jetlovers.com to keep track of all your flights
Anyone besides me keep a list of the airports you've traveled through?
At some point (probably around the time I retired and had time on my hands) I decided to make a list of all the airports Ive traversed as a passenger. Since I didnt travel that much in my younger days, I was able to recreate a historical list and since then Ive added to it.
The list includes all 6 flyable continents (I have been to Antarctica, but by ship), and almost all major U.S. airports. (Of the top 20 US busiest, Ive missed just 3 - Las Vegas, SEATAC, and Orlando).
I included (though maybe I shouldnt) several where the plane stopped but I didnt deplane - (Baton Rouge, Cleveland, Monrovia, Maui, Oakland, Pueblo CO).
I didnt include recreational flights that werent based on an actual airport property (Queenstown NZ, Talkeetna AK, Homer AK)
The smallest airport? Kruger National Park, South Africa. The terminal was about the size of my living room.
My current total is 109 and I will add 2 more (Athens, Omaha) this year.

Thanks for the link!
FlightMemory is, however, pretty terrible website-wise and seems to exist mostly to sell you posters. If posters don't interest you, FlightRadar24 has a better service called My FlightRadar24 (which used to be flightdiary): http://my.flightradar24.com
Only problem I've found with the site is missing aircraft types.
The first passenger jetliner in the world, the DeHavilland Comet 4B and 4C are two entirely different aircraft in that the 4C is the long haul version with the huge fuel pods on the wings.
The VC10 also had two versions!
