March 30, 20242 yr If you think that's a stretch, have a look at "Stockholm" Skavsta. Absolutely nowhere near Stockholm, and right next to the city of Nykoping.

March 30, 20242 yr What's worse? Mis-selling an airport as being linked to a city that's hours away (Paris Vatry Chalons – LFOK) or one that's in a completely different country (Andorra–La Seu d'Urgell – LESU)? Back on topic. I'm looking forward to getting ini's Luton. The detail looks really nice as usual. As pax, the airport is horrible. But for flying it's great for the rapidly rising escarpment before the threshold of rwy 07 and for various low-cost airline ops.

March 30, 20242 yr I think Frankfurt Hahn EDFH wins this. It's not even in the same state, it's a whopping 2 hours bus drive away from Frankfurt. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

March 30, 20242 yr Or how about Oslo Torp? That's 120 km away from Olso and a 90 Minute drive. Not that Gardermoen is that close either, but that's just 50 km's away.

OK you win! Orlando Melbourne is 'only' 112km (70m) from Orlando, different county but same state. Russell Gough SE London

No it is the Same Frankfurt (am Main). You mean Frankfurt / Oder in eastern Germany. But Frankfurt-Hahn is referring to the big Frankfurt am Main. In reality it’s in the middle of nowhere, hours away from any sort of civilization. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

Or the classic: People from english speaking countries wanting to go to Münster and ending up in Munster instead. Mind your umlauts. They mean something. 😉
March 30, 20242 yr There was a story years ago of a couple from the UK on their honeymoon who thought they were going to Sydney (YSSY) and ended up in Sydney (CYQY). Ouch! No offence to the second biggest city in my province but that would be disappointing. However, that takes some serious ignorance of global geography to achieve so I didn’t feel too bad for them. To keep this post on topic, how is the overall performance of this one? I’m guessing the distance from London helps keep things reasonable?
