I don't think I've seen Flint, Michigan mentioned yet. Americas gateway to hunting and crystal meth combined with a ticket problem causing the flight to be held and then the gate agent walking me on personally made for interesting inflight conversation with the locals. Sitting next to a Denny's area manager made me feel like I was in the real life Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
Another is El Paso, Texas where this happened while I was there.

Hmm - not sure Ive got the time or memory to complete my list!!
Most obscure probably:
Baghdad
Basra
Al Amarah
Bagram
Herat
Masar e Sharif
Pasni
Diego Garcia
Andros Island
Cape Canaveral skid strip
Probably over 300 destinations, and I actually landed the aeroplane 😛
I can't believe this thread has not been shot down in flames earlier. What a bunch of t@%$£$%$444$

There's others in Sain, Italy and Germany, but for the life of me I can't remember them.
Ooh, just remembered my obscure one in the UK
Cranfield
that was a take off and land at the same place flight (the one and only time I've had the controls of a 'plane in flight).
Dangriga
Vancouver harbour (floatplane) to somewhere on the island
I'd have a much shorter list than many above, but a couple of obscurities which I don't think have been mentioned.
Aruba
Leh - would have expected to see that on someone's list
Campbell River, Vancouver Island - ok, airport is pushing it a bit perhaps
I've done Leh as well.
Best was the original Hong Kong.
Worst was a shit hole in the Middle East I don't want to mention.

Oh, and that place (home of Benetton) that Ryanair comically call Verona.....
No long haul for me. Don't think I've seen Béziers on anyone else's list. Clearly too exotic!

Boscombe Down
Tonopah
Groom Lake
Nellis
Edwards
China Lake
Palmdale/Plant42
But can't mention it
Halfpenny Green
@Daffy not really, I've travelled a lot for work, lived abriad so explored a bit "locally" plus at 54 I've had the years to rack up destinations. All this plus small airports and airlines costs less to get to an inusual destination than the train in the UK or driving to the Lakes !
Dash 7 from Orly 1993,
I've flown to some remote places for work on some basic airstrips and none of them had the Picolax properties of Courchevel
Does riding my bike along the bridleway that crosses the runway at Elstree Aerodrome count?

Yeah - not much leisure travel to Aktau or Port Harcourt 🙂
