The last time I flew was 1970! Except for taking people to or from the Nashville International, my other visits back in olden times were in: Montgomery (yes, there’s an airport there) Atlanta (you can’t get out of The South without it) Chicago (destination city all three times I’ve flown!) ---

> [@Noone\_Special](#): > > Rochester, NY Oh for God’s sake. I can’t believe I forgot Rochester. I lived there! My parents lived there for 30 years. That was the first airport I’ve flown from, and I visited there every year for about 15 years. Also Syracuse, though I don’t think I was ever actually inside of the airport. I once took a flight from Rochester to Boston, but we had a brief stop in Syracuse. I also left off Atlanta. ---

Easily over 100 different airports, many multiple times; I’ve been to PHL at least 80 times and DFW at least 40. I fly both state-side and internationally for work approximately 25 times per year. Any list I come up with, however, would be incomplete. Who keeps records of all of that? Certainly not me.
