ORD has tons of PTY trips
LAS does SJO some times.
I’m sure there’s more I’m not thinking of.
Maybe I'm wrong and everyone except me is hanging out down in South America all the time and all the bases are getting their fair share of it and I just missed all those trips.
All I know is that when I was an FO in Detroit I went to Cancun maybe 3 times and San Juan twice. Maybe a San Pedro Sula once out of Houston. And San Juan and Cancun don't even really count as they may as well be domestic. Now as a Captain in FLL I'm down south multiple times a month. It's not hard or challenging, in fact I enjoy it, just wish I got to do more of it as an FO.
