I didn't realize IAH was actually in Houston. Though with the area size of the city, it's not a big surprize.

And for only $269.20 you can fly roundtrip between the two airports (hmm - beats traffic?) But combine it with another flight, and EFD-IAH-XXX seems to be only $10-$12 more than IAH-XXX. So with a fully loaded RJ, they'd make a little less than $300...

I wonder what the peak 3-aiport service was in Chicago. (I know at the end there was just CGX-SPI service...)

Moscow actually has 4 fully functional airports, 3 of which are international, all airports with commercial service

SVO Sheremetyevo Airport (main overseas gateway for now)

DME Domodedovo Airport (one ofthe most absolutely great airports there are)

VKO Vnukovo Airport (currently being remodeled to rival DME and SVO)

BKA Bykovo Airport (used to be very active airport while it is now almost completely domestic)

Milan: 3 airports

MXP Malpensa Airport ( main international airport)

LIN Linate Airport (secondary, while very close to the centre of the city, great place)

BGY Orio Al Serio Airport (located by Bergamo, commonly used by low cost airpines, very convenient if north of Milan)

Several cities in Brazil have multiple commercial airports.

Rio de Janeiro:
GIG- Antonio Carlos Jobim (Galeao) Int'l
SDU - Santos Dumont

Sao Paolo:
GRU - Guarulhos
CGN - Congonhas

Belo Horizonte:
CNF - Tancredo Neves (Confins)
PLU - Pampulha

I believe, though, that GRU and CNF are located outside the limits of the cities they are supposed to serve.

But... If you're counting Stansted, you should also count Luton. And up until recently, you could have counted Biggin Hill too, where the Love Air flights to Le Touquet left from.

Le Bourget is private only now. But then, Roissy and Orly are not in département 75, so you may as well also count Beauvais (BVA)... Unless you're taking Ile de France as the marker, as Beauvais is solidly within Picardy.

add (sorry if duplicates mentioned by mistake)
Seattle (does Boeing Field still have limited service?)
Dallas (Love + DFW)
Fort Lauderdale (Fort Lauderdale + Miami)
St. Louis (Lambert + Mid-America - service discontinued)
Boston (not quite unless Providence and that air force base counts)
Toronto (Island and Pearson)
Brussels (Zaventem and Ryanair's Charleroi)
Ryanair calls Luebeck Hamburg. They also call other far away airports by the larger city's name
Philadelphia (PHL and Trenton)

Belize City - Goldson International and Municpal

Kyiv has KBP, which is 40km away from the centre near Borispyl, and IEV, Kyiv Zhulyanay, which is inside the city limits.

Well... not sure if this counts but there is JNU and there is a water landing strip.

Soon to open in BKK too!

The obvious to me is my home town with JFK - LGA - EWR (but EWR is in Jersey, so screw it).

San Francisco (sort of) SFO - OAK - SJC (you can see OAK from SFO and vise-versa).

London LHR - LGW - LCY - STN

Los Angeles (in a loose way) LAX - ONT - VNY - PMD (all are "Los Angeles World Airports")

Miami (again loosely) MIA - FLL

DC IAD - DCA - BWI

Paris CDG - ORY

Tokyo NRT - HND


I avoid flying anywhere else ..............

(no one really goes to Chicago, Houston, Seoul anyway why do they need more than one airport?)

Um, SNA isn't even in the same county, much less the city limits. The only commercial airport in the city of LA is LAX. Within LA county you have LAX, BUR and LGB for commercial. And several private airports such as Santa Monica, Hawthorne and Van Nuys.

Did I not see Buenos Aires mentioned? With EZE and AGP, right?

JED has two airports, domestic and international which are many miles apart.

Ummm, no. DCA (Reagan National) is in Arlington, VA. ;) Try LGA and JFK next time. :p

hmmm:

Frankfurt, Delhi, Mumbai...

and then there is Copenhagen, which had CPH and MMX for a while according to Ryanair (despite the fact that Malmo is actually in a different country...)

And can you fly between any two airports in the same city? (Houston apparantly is covered above).

I can't count Frankfurt: FRA, sure, but HHN is over an hour of empty countryside from Frankfurt city center. It's closer to K'lautern, Saarbruecken, Mainz, Koblenz, Bonn, and Luxembourg than it is to the city whose name it bears. Unless there's another one I didn't know about, or you're counting the US military airfields, Frankfurt has one airport. :)
