Most Airport Codes in a Year?
I've noticed that people in the MP forum never seem to get tired of comparing EQM and RDM totals during the year, but most of these seem to be from business flyers who go to a relatively limited number of destinations many, many times in a year. I don't recall seeing any discussions of who has hit the largest number of UA (or *A) airports in a year.
So, here goes: Who can claim the largest number of airport codes (including layovers and MRs) visited in the last 12 months? My list: UA: ORD (home base) LAX LGA SFO OAK PHL COS IAD HNL DCA PHX SEA ANC LAS LHR CMH *A: YVR Other Airlines: LUT IOM |
I would add mine, but I really don't think others would find it interesting, regardless of how long or unique it is, so I'll spare you the bore. :)

Mixed airlines (UA or *A just don't go to some of these places)
IAD, DCA, BWI, ORD, LAX, SFO, IAH, YOW, PEK, ICN, NRT, ULN, LHR, ISB, BOM, HYD, BKK, SIN, JKT, DPS, DIL, PNH, REP, KUL, MNL, HKG, SJO |
Lucky this is all available in a spreadsheet!
Last year I went to 27 different airports. SYD, LAX, SNA, DEN, DFW, MSP, ORD, FRA, FCO, MAA, BOM, AMD, SIN, SFO, YYZ, IAD, FLL, EDI, ABZ, NWI, YEG, LHR, LIS, BKK, ARN, JFK, LGA So far this year its 15 SYD, SFO, SNA, ORD, MSP, MIA, IAD, LHR, ABZ, NWI, BKK, LAX, DEN, FRA, TLV |
Not a clue.
I suppose I could go get my MP spreadsheets and somehow extract airport codes and do an advanced filter to extract the codes. Or I could go get a nice cold one, kick back and relax. Guess what I'm gonna do? ;) |
I have flown to/from 54 different airports in 2005 (not all *A) and 32 different airports in 2004.
So far in 2006 I have flown to/from 16 different airports with a further 11 unique airports (not already visited this year) in the next 3 weeks (and yet more after that). |

I feel sorry for the 1K that has been to only 2 if there are any?

My past 12 months haven't been that lucritive (18 airports - ABQ BOS DEN FAT FRA IAD JFK LAX MIA NRT OAK ORD SBA SFO SJU SZG TPE YYZ - and ICN can be added on Saturday), but since you didn't restrict your question to commercial flights, my biggest year was 1993 with 41 airports - 3CM 6B6 ACK ARB ASH AYE BAF BED BFD BOS BVY CGF EWB FFO HDH HFD HPN HYA ISP LCI LEB LHR LWM MCO MHT MVY ORH OWD P10 PHX PSF PVD PWM SFO STL TLV TEB TLV TTN TUS YUM - only 6 of which were on commercial flights. My lifetime total is around 160, plus several off-airport locations...

Past 12 months: BNA, EWR, CLT, DUB, ORD, CDG, PRG, PDX, YVR, YUL, FLL, MIA, TPA, PHX, LAX, SYD, AKL, CHC, ZQN, DCA, IAD, LHR, BKK

I know I am missing plenty, but off the top of my head this is it for the 2005 calendar year:
TPA MCO ORD DEN LAX SFO IAD SMF SNA SEA PDX SAN SJC NRT HKG SGN FRA CDG PMI PAD MUC CGN DUS CVG ATL DCA JFK LGA PHL |
My list thus far is rather short:
DEN ORD MDW AMS STR I'm depressed about it. :( :( :( |
