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.

If you are not counting Stansted you can't count Gatwick either. Both are well outside London's boundaries (Gatwick in West Sussex, Stansted in Essex). Only LHR and LCY are inside London. But so many cities have airports outside the political city boundary.
Paris Le Bourget, IIRC, has no commercial air services any longer.</font>

Le Bourget is private only now. But then, Roissy and Orly are not in dpartement 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)

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?)

Did I not see Buenos Aires mentioned? With EZE and AGP, right?
JED has two airports, domestic and international which are many miles apart.

Try LGA and JFK next time.
