Talking Favorite airports or destination

I am just curious, but what airports or destinations are your favorite to fly to, and why?

Thanks,
AAL763

Forbes Field (FOE) Topeka, KS has become one of my favorites. The absolute BEST BBQ ribs I've ever had. The meat falls off the bone!

Boy does that sound good, but I have to go with O'hare. Everytime I fly in or out of o'hare I am greeted with the wonderful chicago skyline. Not to mention all of the different types of airlines and aircraft that stop there. There is some pretty good eating in the terminals also.

Heh... that's what I was going to say. Outside of that, I like EYW; LGA was fun when using the expressway visual.. outside of that they can keep the dump. EIDW is a great place, especially if you can get downtown to Temple Bar and party it up! Others would have to be EGKK, LFPG and CYUL... the night life in those cities is primo.

KEGE - Eagle, CO

As long as the weather doesn't suck its beautiful and has a great FBO. Tons to do and if you know where to look, good food that isn't super expensive.

That would be a tossup for me, because I have two. KBFI-because its a neat approach into the airport, you always see some really unique aircraft there, and Galvin Flying Services is 'well staffed'.

KBKL- Burke Lakefront airport, its kind of a 'mini' Meigs field (down with mayor daley), beautiful city view on a nice day, and you get to fly directly over the stadium of the 2010 super bowl champions on short final.

KFFZ (Falcon Field) in the Phoenix area. Up to Anzio's, the food is amazing!
