I managed to get one final new airport in just before the end of the year (and decade).
Airport #96/100: Wilmington, NC (ILM)

Posts about visiting airports for the first time
Airport #95/100: Miami
Miami was the final US large hub I hadn’t yet visited, so I’ve now visited every major airport in the country.
Airport #94/100: Stockholm–Arlanda (ARN)
ARN was more spacious than I was expecting.
Airport #93/100: Helsinki (HEL)
My visit to Helsinki’s airport was a short layover, so I didn’t have much time to explore.
Airport #92/100: Kansas City (MCI)
I have a love–hate relationship with Kansas City International: it’s a beautiful terminal concept that absolutely doesn’t work as a modern airport.
Airport #91/100: Birmingham (BHM)
I arrived at Birmingham half a day later than expected due to weather issues, but it was a nice airport to fly into when I finally got there.
Airport #90/100: Pittsburgh (PIT)
Pittsburgh is an airport I wasn’t expecting to fly through – too far from home to fly from, but too close to fly to. But then some bad weather routed me there, and I picked up my 90th airport.
Airport #89/100: Fayetteville (FAY)
Fayetteville’s airport felt old, although they were also undergoing renovations to modernize.
Airport #88/100: Fort Lauderdale (FLL)
FLL wasn’t my favorite airport – it felt crowded in a way I wouldn’t expect for an airport of its size.
Airport #87/100: Tokyo–Narita (NRT)
This was my first trip to Japan, and as such, my first time visiting a Japanese airport.
