I don’t think the length of the flight really matters. If an airport is hard to land at, it’s hard to land at regardless.

Well I was thinking what a great feeling it would be to land at a hard airport to land at with a a380

I personally would highly recommend flying into Queenstown, New Zealand. [NZQN]

It provides a bit of a unique challenge, but rewards with an absolute cracker of an approach;

Well there are many airports with hard approaches. Such airports include Lukla (GA, Prop), St.Barths (GA, Prop) or Kai Tak. (Commercial).

But I want some where where I can take a let say 777 and have a ridiculously hard approach but it’s a real flight where would I go?

Why didn’t I think of that one? Yes, MMMX is one of the more difficult commercial airport approaches.

But what makes it hard don’t fly there really ever

You could try OAKB. I think Emirates flies a 77W there

Your ILS intercept comes around half way down the cone. It takes a lot of planning.

The hardest approach I have ever done is UGMS runway 20and VQPR (Paro) Runway 33. So fun to do and some of the hardest in the world. Hope you try them.
