What Makes an Airport Interesting to you?

1

What features make an airport interesting to you? Do you like when an airport has water, mountains, or is busy? Personally I like airports where you have an approach over some body of water. Thank You.

The scenery and challenge, and I like single runway airports for some reason. 🤔

Anything with scenery and people really… Also I prefer if there’s atc.

Definitely mountains and valleys along with sharp turns (judging by real world approach charts). Gotta enjoy those challenges!

ATC and some other traffic is usually a draw for me. Scenery is secondary, but enjoyable.

The scenery and design of the airport.

Any difficult approach where the pilot actually has to work and doesn’t push a land button makes an airport interesting for me.

Anywhere that @dush19 doesn’t fly to/from interests me.

Definitely if it has a difficult approach (through mountains, just a tricky approach, etc). I don’t mind a little bit of nice scenery either!

guys if you like a tricky approach spawn in the Himalayas and fly to the airport that is restricted. It took me ten minutes to see it before I could even land lol sorry cannot remember the name

I like airports that are laid on the coast. Not a fan of airports that have mountainous terrain and difficult approaches.

15

In IF I mostly fly where atc is or a real challenge

16

I like simple easy approachs, London City isn’t one of them, yet I love flying into it

IRL I like an airport where all the terminals have connection behind security so you can see the whole airport on a layover. In IF I like the airports where you have to land through valleys or have really strong winds coming off of a mountain. Nothing funner than crosswind landings.
