Hawaii and Texas.
Between the post 9/11 security theater delays & the trip from Hell, where I saw not one but both of my connecting flights sitting at the gate but got there too late to board, I do my best to avoid shorter &/or connecting flights, so only PHL-PGH.
I’ve landed with the aircraft*, but not at an airport in
CT
DE
PA
NJ
NM
NY
& QUE province
- hot air balloons
One–Illinois.
Only Texas.
FL: MIA-Orlando, Orlando-Ft. Lauderdale
NV: Vegas-Reno/Reno-Vegas
TX: San Antonio-Dallas
WA: Spokane-SeaTac
Around age four I took a private plane trip in a six seater from Tennessee to Nebraska that included many stops, quite possibly some of those hops were within a single state, but I can’t be sure of the route.
Since then on commercial flights I’ve had intrastate hops in Alaska, Florida and Utah. Don’t recall any others.
Only California and Hawaii.
One: California.
From LAX to Orange County airport :smack: .
It was the second leg of a Chicago to Orange County flight - does that count?
It still felt stupid. It was a business trip arranged by someone else. I’d much rather have rented a car at LAX than take that second hop.
Texas and Oklahoma. Stupid flight that literally hopped across the country. Somebody on board thought that we weren’t getting drinks because of Okla & Texas’s stupid liquor laws at the time, nope, it was because we were never in the air long enough. It was like being on a bus, kind of. OKC to Lawton to Wichita Falls to Dallas to, I forget, ending up in Lubbock. Obviously I was not in a good place to begin with if I was going from OKC to Lubbock. Kind of a parallel move between two not-good places. That flight did not help.
Wholly within… only Texas and California.
Houston-Corpus, Houston-Dallas, Houston-Austin, Austin-Dallas, Dallas-San Antonio, Dallas-El Paso in Texas.
Oakland-LAX in California.
In the USA, I have done 42 states. Extreme N/E ones have been missed.
Counting overseas & military, unknown because I am not sure where their internal borders are/were.
Never been on the ground in Alaska much to my dismay.
LA to SF in California, like many other people (I think LAX-OAK, specifically).
Tri-Cities to Knoxville and Nashville to Memphis in Tennessee, like maybe 1-2 other people. (By the way, there are currently no scheduled commercial passenger flights within Tennessee. However, as you might guess, FedEx does fly from Memphis to both Knoxville and Nashville.)
Louisiana (Shreveport - New Orleans)
Texas (Houston - Dallas)
Massachusetts (all over in private planes)
Maine (same)
Rhode Island (same)
California (LA - San Fran)
Hawaii (from several islands to another)
Colorado (Denver - Colorado Springs) - that is an extremely short flight
Ohio - (Dayton - Cincinnati)
USVI - (St. Thomas - St. Croix)
Wisconsin. Flew from Fond du Lac to Prairie du Chien in foul weather, in what felt like a soup can with wings and a rubber-band powered propeller. Decades later it’s still the most unpleasant flying experience I’ve ever had.
Texas: Dallas to Wichita Falls
Hawaii: Honolulu to Maui
California: Many times between the Bay Area and Los Angeles
I had one flight that went Washington -> Atlanta -> New Orleans -> Shreveport -> San Jose -> Oakland, so on that one flight I flew within Louisiana and within California. There was a problem with a flight from Shreveport to San Jose so they rerouted our New Orleans to Oakland flight to pick up people in Shreveport and take them to San Jose then resume our trip to Oakland.
I was going to say none, then I remembered two.
Memphis to Chattanooga, TN
San Diego to San Jose, CA
Chattanooga, TN to Atlanta, GA flights, which I’ve done many times, were shorter than either of those.
Just New York (Albany to Islip) and Hawaii (Maui to Honolulu).
California
New York
Illinois
And just because I feel like mentioning it …
Quebec
Correction - I guess I have to add Arizona. Grand Canyon Airways, sightseeing flight over the Canyon. Although I can’t really call it flying, as I spent the first 3 minutes taking pictures and the remaining 57 minutes projectile vomiting everything except my toenails. :eek:
Texas: Twice
Dallas to Houston (and back)
Dallas to Laredo (and back)
I may have taken a flight from Albany to LaGuardia…a long time ago
