Your airport count

[jon81uk]

Since I last did this, I’ve added one and also realised that I forgot two that I went to as a young child! (Added in bold, previously forgotten in italics)

1. Bristol Airport (BRS, UK)
2. Jersey Airport (JER, Jersey/Channel Islands)
3. Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport (FKB, Germany)
4. London Gatwick Airport (LGW, UK)
5. London Heathrow Airport (LHR, UK)
6. London Stansted Airport (STN, UK)
7. Manchester Airport (MAN, UK)
8. Orlando Internationak Airport (MCO, USA)

I find it interesting you've flown from/to five different UK airports, but only to/from three non-UK, therefore its fairly easy to assume you've been to Orlando multiple times, which given the context of this forum, does seem likely.

I think Gatwick and Orlando are my most visited airports too, most of the Orlando trips used to involve a visit to Gatwick and a majority of my European trips have too.

That is correct. I’ve been to Orlando 5 times in total, so MCO is my most visited airport.

I’ve actually flown to Orlando from 3 different UK airports. The first twice we went there, in August 2012 and August 2014, we flew from London Gatwick. The 3rd and 4th times we went there, in August 2016 and April 2019, we flew from Manchester. The 5th time we went there, in June 2023, we flew from London Heathrow due to it being far nearer than Manchester or Gatwick and Virgin having changed their London base from Gatwick to Heathrow during COVID.

Split (plane did a 180 on the runway, nearly died...)

What happened there?

 

[NuttySquirrel]

What happened there?

No idea, just a really shoddy landing (which had been aborted once already) and I guess it hadn't slowed down enough by the time it got near the end of the runway so it swerved suddenly and did a full U-turn before it came to a proper stop.

OK so I don't think we were ever really in serious danger but the way my father-in-law was telling it to the bar staff that evening you'd have thought it was Con Air or some other hammed up disaster movie!
