US, the Bahamas, Australia, Chile, and (if you count connecting flights when the first leg of your trip originated in another country), Canada. I think that’s it.

I think only the US. Which is kinduv weird. I’ve flown from Toronto to various points in the USA, and to England, but never to any other place in Canada as far as I can work out. 🙂

I was going to add Switzerland as I have flown in and out of Zurich a number of times, but only directly into and out of Switzerland. When the OP says domestically, I am taking this as meaning from one airport in the country to another in the same country. OP, please clarify.

I have also flown many times into and out of CDG but never as departure to or destination from another airport in France, so I didn’t include France in my list. Panama would also have made my list if I’d flown point-to-point within the country instead of solely in and out of the country via Tocumen. Same with Republica Dominicana and Argentina.

Yes, the flight must begin and end inside the same country. I’ve flown to and from lots of countries but only inside six of them from point to point. For example, I’ve flown to and from Japan, but I can’t count Japan because inside the country I just took trains.

Good. Thanks. Then my list is accurate.

Two- the US and UK. On my first trip, we flew into Gatwick, and then got on some little puddle-jumper and flew to Aberdeen. About a week later, we flew back to Gatwick.
