    I appreciate that many of you have clocked up some serious miles over the years but have you ever wondered (while you wander) how many airports you’ve travelled through?

    What is the norm? Have most of you been to over 100 airports around the world? Has anyone out there been to over 200?

    Feel free to list them all and, of course, single out the very best and worst of them.

    bit of a slacker, only 70 (a couple of those are repeat visits to a city but into a new airport (Doha and Bangkok)

    Best – Changi, LHR T5 (many will disagree), HKG, Copenhagen

    worst (of the ones I remember) – Kuching (nowt there), Manchester, Jakarta, Mumbai (BA First Class Lounge was awful), Riyadh (nowt there), LHR T3, Manila

    I don’t have a record of all of them, but it must be well into the 100s.

    I have recalled a tantalizing 97, with two new ones to come in October. I must give some thought as to where to go for my 100th.

    Best: St Marys, Isles of Scilly. 30 second walk from the outdoor beer garden to the plane.

    Worst: Kinshasa. Moved the threadbare armchair in the business lounge and 2 rats scuttled away across the floor.

    Best : ICN Incheon, South Korea
    Worst : many for different reasons – but I’ll go for Bamako, just for the terror of being in a Malian public toilet during a fifteen minute middle-of-the-night powercut.

    The one I’d go back to tomorrow if I could? ILP – Beautiful Ile des Pins in New Caledonia…..ah the peace!

    My database shows 142 airports on commercial flights. Another 30+ on private flights with my father but to be fair some of those barely qualify as airports!
