> [@Scougs](#): > > Vietnam (… Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City) We’ve flown that stretch, and was the wife ever pissed off. She forgot to put her very nice Swiss army knife that she had bought in Los Angeles about 15 years before in her check-in luggage. Out of habit she put it in her backpack, which was her carry-on. The security guard took it from her. He brazenly just stuck it in his pocket too. Oops! ---

I took your parameters to mean a flight that between two cities of the same country, so since I enjoy trains my list is a bit shorter. Angola Luanda to Cabinda Papua New Guinea Port Moresby to our field camp in the highlands South Africa Johannesburg to Cape Town Russia Moscow to St. Petersburg Kazakhstan Atyrau to Almaty French Polynesia Pape’ete to Bora Bora Sudan Khartoum to our field camp in the highlands Namibia Windhoek to Walvis Bay India Mumbai to Agra ---

US, Canada, Japan. If you count flying into a country and then changing to a flight within that country, I can add Denmark. Related question for the US or Canada. Which states or provinces have you flown within? Just a single flight, California, Louisianna (New Orleans to Lake Charles in a four seater Cessna), and Saskatchewan. If you can count legs, I can add Hawai’i, Illinois, and British Columbia. Did I ever fly between Philly and Pittsburgh? I don’t recall having done so. ---

> [@samclem](#): > > U.S. Canada England. Germany Austria. Luxembourg. I am interested in how (and why) someone would take a flight within Luxembourg. Was it a sight-seeing, there and back, kind of thing as described by some other posters? …Hard to imagine any airports in a country that small being more than about 25 miles apart; I’d think you could almost taxi from the end of one airport’s runway to the beginning of the next equally quickly. ---

I have something of a sorta-kinda, grey-area situation re “Britain”. Have flown between England – thus, in the United Kingdom – and the Channel Islands, off the Normandy coast, which are British Crown Dependencies but _not_ part of the UK. Have also flown within the Channel Islands, between Guernsey and Alderney (20-minute flight in tiny plane). Zimbabwe. ---

> [@Balthisar](#): > > Europe? Is “within Europe” considered domestic? I doubt it. For example, I’ve flown Madrid (MAD) to Athens (ATH) and Athens to Paris (CDG). That’s all within the Schengen zone, so you don’t go through passport control, but they are international flights. On the question of flights within a state, I haven’t flown within any state of the US, but I have flown within British Columbia, New South Wales and Queensland.
