Two similar threads, why are you so obsessed with which train stations and airports people have been to?!

Interested in this thread?

Then you might like threads about these subjects:

HoraceCope · 30/01/2019 08:14

in the uk: heathrow, gatwick, Luton, Glasgow

Riotingbananas · 31/01/2019 00:13

There are only 3 “how many’s” in the poster’s history and 1 “how long”. Lots of other questions and posts.

There are more than 40 threads asking entirely random questions. That is a bit unusual. Not a problem, people ask whatever they want, but definitely unusual.

Juanbablo · 31/01/2019 05:54

I think 12. Stansted, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, Paris, Jerez, Palma, Mahon, Zante, Orlando, Turkey, Vancouver.

SaltySeaBird · 31/01/2019 07:29

What an odd question! I literally couldn’t begin to count. I couldn’t tell you how many countries I’ve been too off the top of my head but it’s over 70 and within a lot of those multiple airports so probably between 100-140?

"Gatwick, Heathrow, Manchester, Edinburgh, Dublin & Belfast in the UK."

Dublin is the capital city of the soverign country of Ireland. It is not part of the UK.

alphajuliet123 · 31/01/2019 21:29

About 40 I reckon.

Most memorable was a tiny rural one in Indonesia, where each passenger had to be weighed with their luggage, on huge scales in front of everyone. We then waited outside in a shelter by the runway, whereupon the plane just pulled up and we all hopped on, like a bus.

RiddleyW · 31/01/2019 21:35

Hmm it’s quite fun to try to work it out!

Orkney
