Dayton doesn’t serve any airport west of the Rockies. So although LAX is one of the busiest airports in the world, and a hub for many airlines, I haven’t flown through it very often.
My Airport History: Los Angeles (LAX)

Airports visited before I started tracking new airports
My Airport History: Washington Reagan National (DCA)
I mostly use DCA as a layover to get to New Hampshire, but it does have one of the most scenic landings in the US.
My Airport History: Toledo (TOL)
I’ve only visited the Toledo, Ohio airport on a single trip.
My Airport History: Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AVP)
A mountainous airport with the first backtaxi that I can remember.
My Airport History: Abilene (ABI)
Abilene’s a small, one-hub, several regional jets per day airport, but I still like it.
My Airport History: Baltimore (BWI)
As one of the few Southwest Airlines focus cities (and former AirTran hubs) that serves Dayton, Baltimore generally serves as my layover to or from Orlando when I’m not able to take the one daily direct Orlando flight.
My Airport History: Washington-Dulles (IAD)
Washington’s not a bad location for a hub; with my highest airline status on United, it connects the right airline for me. Yet for the most part, I seem to spend a lot of time going out of my way to avoid it.
My Airport History: Phoenix (PHX)
I don’t end up with too many opportunities to fly through Phoenix. While it’s a large hub for US Airways (now American Airlines), it doesn’t serve Dayton.
My Airport History: Las Vegas (LAS)
To date, McCarran remains the only airport I’ve been to where I can remember seeing slot machines.
My Airport History: Salt Lake City (SLC)
Despite its status as a Delta hub, every SLC flight I’ve been on has been on American Airlines.
